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.”
