Jury selection kicked off Monday in the federal trial of two men charged with murdering hip-hop legend Jason Mizell — better known as Run-DMC's Jam Master Jay — in his Queens studio more than twenty years ago as revenge for being cut out of a cocaine deal.
Jury selection began Monday in the trial over the murder of Jam Master Jay, the innovative Run-DMC DJ who was killed in his Queens studio two decades ago. All heralding from the Hollis neighborhood of Queens, Run-DMC included its DJ -- Jam Master Jay -- and the MCs who dropped rhymes, Joseph "Run" Simmons and Darryl McDaniels, or "DMC."

Jason Mizell, who was part of the pioneering hip-hop group RUN-DMC, was killed on October 30, 2002.
