“Legendary hip-hop DJ Jason Mizell, aka Jam Master Jay, is gunned down in his Queens studio.

Exclusive, candid interviews with 50 Cent, Ja Rule, Russell Simmons, RUN-DMC and more offer insight into Jam Master Jay’s life – including information that could finally help police solve the murder that shook the music world to its core.”
