"I am particularly excited about showcasing this film. Not only am I a native New Yorker, but I'm a true fan who grew up listening to Jam Master Jay spin with Run-DMC," HBFF founder Tanya Kersey said. "This movie highlights the life of an extraordinarily talented artist who will always be remembered as one of Hip-Hop's true legendary innovators. I can't think of a better way to commemorate Jam Master Jay then at the opening night of the Hollywood Black Film Festival."
The documentary features interviews with Run-D.M.C. emcee Rev. Run, Russell Simmons, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, Ja Rule, 50 Cent, LL Cool J, Method Man and Swizz Beatz.
The famed DJ was gunned down on October 30, 2002 in his Queens recording studio. Police officials have yet to identify a suspect in Jay's murder.
