"Two Turntables and a Microphone", The Jam Master Jay Story

The late Jam Master Jay lives on thanks to family, friends and fans in a documentary that called, “Two Turntables and a Microphone”. We all know about the famous group RUN DMC and there DJ, Jam Master Jay. The famed DJ was gunned down on October 30, 2002 in his Queens recording studio. Police officials have yet to identify a suspect in Jay's murder.

This documentary not only recalls the rise of Jam Master Jay, but it also digs into the mystery surrounding his violent death. Interesting enough the trailer states that people were present when Jam Master Jay was killed, which also amplifies the calls to why this murder has not been solved?

The documentary features interviews with Run-D.M.C. emcee Rev. Run, Russell Simmons, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Ja Rule, 50 Cent, LL Cool J, Method Man and Swizz Beatz.
