The Rise of Run-DMC
Tougher Than Leather tells the inside story of Run-DMC's astonishing rise to fame from the obscurity of Hollis. Queens to the kleig-lit heights of pop music fame.
It is a story that has inspired important music makers for the last 15 years, including the Beastie Boys, Will Smith, Public Enemy, NWA, Master P, Jay-Z, Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit and Eminem — all of whom know who opened the door for them. And now it can inspire you.
Tougher Than Leather was originally published in 1987 and is reissued here in a new edition, a must have for any serious music fan.
