Mezco Pays Tribute to Jam Master Jay
|
October 31, 2002 - Mezco Toyz wishes to express its deepest sympathies on the passing of Jason Mizell, better known as Jam Master Jay of Run DMC fame. As you may already know Mezco Toyz has had the pleasure, in the last year, to work with the group in developing Run, DMC and Jam Master Jay toys celebrating the group�s groundbreaking career in the music business.
It is with a heavy heart that we receive the news of Jay's passing. Mez, the president of Mezco Toyz, has always been a big fan of Run DMC and contacted the group in early 2002 with the prospect of creating an action figure line. While Mezco has always been excited about our Run DMC toy line, we now feel privileged that we were able to play a small part in immortalizing Jam Master Jay, as well as all of Run DMC, who are truly the fathers of rap, and pioneers of the hip-hop culture as it is known today.
We offer our condolences to Jam Master Jay's family, friends, the members of Run DMC and all the countless fans that will miss him.
