REMASTERED WHO KILLED JAM MASTER JAY

- Netflix; Debuts 12.07.18

Musically speaking, there are a number of mysteries involving the deaths of great artists, musicians and performers. In 2002 at the age of 37, Jason Mizell (Jam Master Jay of Run-DMC) was added to this list. Friends and family of this artist have toiled over the DJ's unsolved murder. In Netflix's docu-series, ReMastered, each episode analyzes these deaths and in the latest installmen­t (the first episode looks at Bob Marley's attempted assassinat­ion and the second looks at the political evolution of Johnny Cash) they investigat­e, "Who Killed Jam Master Jay?"

This show looks at his rise in the music industry in the 80s with Run-DMC along with interviews of those who were impressed and inspired by his work. But it all comes to a head when the series focuses on his murder when his individual­s were buzzed into his Queens recording studio and mo-

ments later, they opened fire killing the hip-hop legend.

Theories of how this happened includes, looking at witnesses that were intimidate­d, security cameras that wree tampered and more. As someone that was known as a peaceful force in the industry, the idea of having so many unanswered questions that have resulted in a lack of justice for his friends and family and no conviction­s. is perplexing.
