Documentary On Murder of Jam Master Jay Set To Launch
Even though he met his tragic end in 2002, the memory of Run DMC DJ Jam Master Jay still continues to live on. Being worked on for the past 5 years, a documentary is set to be released that will dissect the murder of Jay as a trailer was released. The work is titled “Two Turntables and a Microphone.”
The project was initially started by Jay’s cousin, Stephon “Phonz” Watford. It premiered back in June 2008 at the 9th Annual Hollywood Black Film Festival at the Writers Guild Theater.
Interviews with the likes of Onyx, Rev. Run, Russell Simmons and others that were peers or associates of the DJ were conducted that will provide their accounts of their encounters with Jay as well as their thoughts on the murder, which has yet to be solved.
Jay’s murder took place on October 30 where he was shot and killed in a Merrick Boulevard recording studio in Jamaica, Queens. Speculation swirled as some believed that Kenneth “Supreme” McGriff had a hand in the incident as Jay worked closely with rapper 50 Cent who had released the track “Ghetto Qu’Ran” where he talked about McGriff’s drug history.

"I aint never left the scene! I’m always grinding." Bold words like that are normally served for underground artists still trying to get their buzz up.
