❤️ROCK BOX! March 27, 1984 - Run-D.M.C. released their debut album Run-D.M.C. Originally calling themselves Orange Crush, the group formed in 1982. After a solo single ("Street Kid") from Run failed to garner much interest, his older brother, Russell Simmons, was swayed into taking on the group as a trio. He changed their name to Run-D.M.C. and began shopping around their demo. He got a bite from Profile Records co-founder Cory Robbins, who inked them to a deal shortly after hearing an early version of "It's Like That," which they recorded with producer Larry Smith in his home studio in Queens. Robbins gave the group $2,000 to re-record the single, and they returned with it, plus "Sucker M.C.'s." The pair of songs were released together as a twelve-inch in 1983, and while urban radio at the time was still slow to embrace hip-hop, Kiss FM in New York City took a chance on playing "It's Like That." Other urban radio stations followed suit and eventually the song rose to No. 15 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, while selling upwards of 250,000 copies. But despite the strong sales, hip-hop, in its infancy, was still ostensibly a singles-driven business. Even the thought of selling a full-length LP was adventurous at the time. That is, of course, until another Run-D.M.C. song, "Hard Times," rose to No. 11 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. The Hollis boys were hitting on something. Their sparse-but-aggressive tracks stood in stark contrast to the smooth R&B-inflected rap songs of the day, and it was hard to not be captivated by DMC's booming voice, Run's shout rap and Jay's proficiency behind the wheels of steel. What's more, while other MCs dressed in glitzy disco-inspired costumes, Run-D.M.C. wore tracksuits, Cazal glasses and Adidas. They looked like the people in the street they were making their records for. They were authentic before authenticity in hip-hop was even a thing. Another song on their debut, "Rock Box," holds the distinction of being the first hip-hop video ever played on MTV. That exposure, paired with the group's relentless performance schedule helped the album become a success. It also effectively made Run-D.M.C. into superstars.

One of the first HC records i heard back in the 80's,and i'm sure we all love it still...the left one the demo version is sick as well but my heart beats for the red one... #cromags #ageofquarrel #profilerecords #nyhc

#cromags "The Age of Quarrel" LP #profilerecords #rockhotelrecords 1986. I'll be the first to admit that much of the music I appreciate isn't created by the great thinkers of our time. But when it comes to unintelligent lyrics this album will always be the first thing to come to my mind. Truly so bad it's good, I will always have a special place in my heart for it. #punk #hardcore #NYHC #punkrecords #records #recordcollection #vinyligclub #nowspinning #nowplaying
