One third of the legendary rap group Run-DMC is experiencing health issues.
Acording to reports, DMC (real name Darrel Mcdaniels) was admitted to a New Jersey hospital Thursday after suffering from pain and swelling in his right arm. Upon his arrival, doctors discovered two major bloodclots. Mcdaniels is scheduled to have surgery today to correct the situation. He was also scheduled to make an appearance at the AVP Beach Volleyball Tournament, which will be televised nationally on NBC.
As a member of one of the most influential music coalitions in the history of hip hop, DMC is a pioneer and a well-respected artist who – along with the rest of Run-DMC – paved the way for this generation’s cluster of rappers. Reverend Run and Jam Master Jay - who was murdered almost 6 years ago on October 30, 2002 - made up the other two-thirds of the group.
No word yet on whether he is expected to make a full recovery, but get well wishes can be sent to his website, www.me-dmc.com.
