On July 4, 1986, Run-D.M.C. released their groundbreaking single “Walk This Way,” a collaboration with rock band Aerosmith. The song became a major hit, reaching #4 on the US Billboard charts and hitting #1 in New Zealand. This genre-blending track, which featured a fusion of hip-hop and rock, played a crucial role in bringing hip-hop to a mainstream audience. The innovative collaboration and iconic music video, which depicted the two groups performing together, helped bridge the gap between rock and rap, leaving a lasting impact on the music industry.
