Son of Jam Master Jay Follows in Dad’s Footsteps by Tom Llamas www.nbcnewyork.com NBCNewYork gets inside look into unsolved murder of pioneering rapper It’s “Tricky,” but if you find yourself swaying your head to a familiar beat from a DJ with a familiar look, we suggest you do a double take.

He was gunned down in his Queens studio off Merrick Boulevard. “To the world, Jam Master Jay was lost. To me, I lost my Dad,” says Jason Mizell Jr. “Witnesses were very afraid of the bat, some didn’t want to cooperate, some did, but they were very afraid to cooperate,” says former NYPD Detective Derrick Parker of the investigation into the still unsolved murder. Parker wrote a book about the murder from his time working with Hip-Hop related crimes.

If Jayson, son of JMJ were to ever read this, know this… I am a teacher in the public school system. I have taught the history of Hip Hop for the last ten years in LAUSD. In 2005, I wrote, directed, and produced a musical on the history of Hip Hop dedicated to your father. I am currently working on my Doctorate in order to educate young adults about the history of Hip Hop. Your dad inspired me at a young age to do everything I do now. I thank him for that. God Bless. One, Maka
