(2018)

In the heart of Queens, New York, the vibrant world of hip-hop collided with tragedy on October 30, 2002, when the legendary DJ Jam Master Jay, part of the iconic trio RUN-D.M.C., was shot and killed in his own recording studio. “ReMastered: Who Killed Jam Master Jay?” delves into the riveting, unresolved mystery surrounding his untimely death, unraveling the intricacies of the music industry, street culture, and personal betrayal.

Our story centers on three primary characters: Jay’s closest friends and collaborators, DMC and Rev Run, who are devastated by the sudden loss and determined to uncover the truth behind their friend’s murder. As they navigate their personal grief, they also confront the haunting shadows of their shared past in the notoriously turbulent hip-hop scene.
