“J-A-Y are the letters of his name cutting and scratching are the aspects of his game.” No Doubt. Just wanted to pause and pay fitting tribute to Jam Master Jay on today which is the 45th anniversary of his birth.
Jay was one-third of arguably the greatest Hip-Hop group of all time and his legacy as a DJ and trend setter of the culture is firmly cemented. R.I.P. – JMJ.
I would be remiss if I didn’t post this clip and encourage you to turn it up in tribute. These cats created swagger. Word up!
