"Thirty years ago on May 4, 1993,
Run-DMC
made one of the greatest comebacks in hip-hop history with the release of their sixth studio album
Down With The King
. In 1991, a 12" remix came out for the single 'Back From Hell' featuring
Chuck D
and
Ice Cube
and fans took notice. It would be two more years before anyone would hear from Run-DMC again. In March of 1993, a new single and video 'Down With The King' debuted on Yo! MTV Raps featuring the new Hip-Hop Gods
Pete Rock
and
CL Smooth
paying homage to
The Kings
calling back verses from Sucker MCs over a dope signature Pete Rock beat. Fans watched it over and over to catch all the cameos, everyone from
Eazy-E
to the
Native Tongues Family
of De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest. The anticipation was building, but would the album live up to the lead single that knocked it out of the park? On May 4, 1993, the album dropped on CD, cassette, and vinyl. Run-DMC enlisted
The Bomb Squad
from
Public Enemy
,
Q-Tip
,
EPMD
,
Jermaine Dupri
,
Kay Gee
of
Naughty By Nature
, and Pete Rock to produce the album with a special appearance by
Tom Morello
rocking out his guitar emulating DJ scratches he made famous with
Rage Against The Machine
. Their rhyming was as enthusiastic and powerful as they were on their debut album ten years prior. Run-DMC, the self-proclaimed Kings of Rock and original Kings of Hip Hop were indeed back. Get On Down is presents for the first time on vinyl since its original release, a 30 Year Anniversary pressing on double-colored vinyl with numbered OBI in a gatefold jacket."
