On Independence Day in 1986, Daryl McDaniels, his partner in rhyme Joseph Simmons and their DJ Jason Mizell, who are best known as the legendary Hip Hop group Run-D.M.C., released one of the most successful singles of their career; “Walk This Way”, which guest stars rock n’ roll vets Steven Tyler and Joe Perry of Aerosmith.
The rap version of the single, which appeared on Run-D.M.C.’s third album, Raising Hell, was a groundbreaking track that helped pioneer the fusion of rock’ n’ roll and Hip-Hop. The original song of the same name appeared on Aerosmith’s 1975 Toys In The Attic album.
