Nearly 24 years after the murder of Jam Master Jay, another conviction in the case has landed.
Jay Bryant, a 52-year-old resident of Far Rockaway, Queens, pleaded guilty yesterday to providing access to a studio in Queens where Jam Master Jay — born Jason Mizell, and the man largely responsible for Run-DMC’s culture-shifting sound — was recording. This allegedly allowed for Karl Jordan, Jr. and Ronald Washington to ambush and murder Mizell.
