A native of Hollis, Queens, Rev Run (baptized Joseph Simmons) is one of the creative minds that pioneered the sound of the legendary Run-DMC releasing albums like 'King Of Rock' and 'Raising Hell' that are considered classics in the genre today. Dressed in their trademarked black fedoras, dookie gold chain and strangely laced Adidas sneakers, Run-DMC changed the sound of rap by simultaneously being more street and rock 'n' roll than any of their contemporaries. Says Run, "It's exciting being part of a great group, thrilling the crowd on stage and then signing autographs afterwards. That was the feeling I wanted to inject in "Mind on the Road"."

Featuring Run's powerful voice, hard rocking beats and an electric guitar energy reminiscent of Run-DMC classics like "Rock Box" and "Walk This Way," "Mind on the Road" is the perfect track to re-introduce this legendary artist to a new generation and it's already making (heat) waves as one of the summer's anthems, blaring from car stereos and boomboxes everywhere. Look out for Run's creative and explosive world captured on his solo full length, 'Distortion' dropping on his brother Russell Simmons' newly found Russell Simmons Music Group (RSMG) on September 13th. And if that wasn't enough, Rev Run is also about to star in the series, "Run's House" on MTV - television's first hip-hop reality sitcom that will bring the real-life drama of Rev Run, his wife and five children. Check out "Mind on the Road" at home, test it on the dancefloor and be aware of your friends begging for this record!
