Jury selection for the trial of two men accused of killing Jam Master Jay will get underway on Monday.
According to ABC News, 59-year-old Ronald Washington and 40-year-old Karl Jordan are facing charges for the October 2002 murder. Jay, born Jason Mizell, and others were at Jayâs 24/7 recording studio in Queens when the two men entered at 7:30 p.m. with guns.
Jordan is said to have fired two shots close range at Jam Master Jay, one hitting him in the head and killing him.
Jodan and Washington were believed to be engaged in cocaine trafficking. Jordan was arrested in 2020 for attempting to sell drugs to an undercover officer. Washington was already in prison when charged.
On this date in 1965, Jeffrey Townes, better known to Hip Hop and television fans as âJazzy Jeffâ was born in the City of Brother Love and has become one of the best to ever place their hands on a pair of Technics 1200s.
Originally known as the DJ for rapper/actor The Fresh Prince aka Will Smith, Jeffâs claim to fame was his seemingly innate ability to play the wheels of steel like instruments, popularizing the âtransformerâ style scratching sound which was mimicked by many DJs who succeeded and preceded him. The two-time Grammy Award winner later became an established producer, sitting behind the boards for artists like Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, The Roots, Floetry, and many more. Just last year, Jazz worked on the Straight Outta Compton film, doing scratch overdubs for the classic flick.
Happy born day and salute to one of the pioneers of the 1s and 2s of Hip Hop culture!
Happy Born day to Ahmir Khalib Thompson better known as ?uestlove a.k.a Questlove! Born in 1971, he turns a half-century today. The OG is originally known as the drummer for the legendary Hip Hop band The Roots, but he has many roles.
On February 17, 2014, he became a part of the in-house band for The Tonight Show, and with The Roots, heâs played the same role during the 969-episodes of  Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.Â
Letâs not forget about the many artists he has produced such as Jay Z, Common, DâAngelo, Erykah Badu, the late Amy Winehouse, John Legend, and old school R&B legend Al Green. The list goes on with all the production teams he has been a part of, including Hip Hop pioneers like The Soulsonics and The Grand Wizards.
The influence of this multi-faceted musician has reached far beyond most in his life thus far, and heâs nearly only halfway thru. Happy Birthday Questlove and many more to come!
