JIM JONES Feat. REV RUN “Wishing On A Sucker MC”

by DJ Cassidy
A few weeks ago, Run called me with a vision. A few weeks later, the vision became a reality. Working with both Run and Jim on this record was an unforgettable honor. Run-DMC is the greatest Hip Hop group of all time. They, along with Jam Master Jay, played a major role in my life of Hip Hop and were a formative force in my life of deejaying. Needless to say, they put the fedora on my head and the Adidas on my feet.
Re-creating “Sucker MC’s” twenty-six years later was surreal. Hearing Funk Master Flex play it on Hot 97 the first time for thirteen minutes straight was out of this world. As a child, I never thought I could ever possibly contribute to Run-DMC’s legacy. I thank Run and Jim for making a dream come true.
PS. Stay tuned for the whole story of how Run, Jim, and I connected, what it was like working with both of them, and how Run DMC’s “Sucker MC’s” and Rose Royce’s “Wishing On A Star” came to be “Wishing On A Sucker MC.”

DJ Envy to leave New York Powerhouse Radio Station Hot 97

Written by Thaddeus Reid

Popular DJ and radio-host DJ Envy announced recently that he would be leaving WQHT Hot 97.1 and moving on to its competitor WWPR Power 105.1. Envy had this say about his new position:

“I'm excited to start hosting afternoons at Power 105.1. Now I’m with the first person that put me on the radio, Ed Lover, and the person who taught me how to mix, DJ Clue. I'm honored to join a young team of talented jocks. The grind begins...its Movvinn!!!”

The official announcement was made today by Power 105.1's Program Director Combat Jack. Envy, who also has a show on XM/Sirius, is set to fill the afternoon slot from 2pm-6pm weekdays.

One of New York's leading mixtape purveyors, DJ Envy climbed up the ranks quickly and his reputation was so esteemed that Sony signed him and his affiliate label, Desert Storm Records, and in early 2003 released his commercial debut, The Desert Storm Mixtape: DJ Envy - Blok Party, Vol. 1.

After churning out four volumes of mixtape mayhem from artists such as Cam'Ron, Beanie Sigel, Jay-Z, and the Lox, DJ envy doesn't plan on stopping. Growing up in Queens, this two-time Just-O Mix Tape award recipients has 10 plus years of ripping up turntables but there's more. Envy currently serves as President and CEO of BLOK Entertainment, his own management and production company that has already produced scorching tracks for artists such as DMX, Murderers, Funk Flex, Foxy Brown, Juvenile, Petey Pablo, Fabolous, and more.
