As recreational marijuana is being legalized all over the country, cannabis brands are becoming more popular. Now TJ and Jesse Mizell, sons of the legendary Run-DMC deejay Jam Master Jay, are honoring their father’s legacy by launching a cannabis brand of their own.
In an exclusive with Page Six, TJ Mizell talked about his dad’s frequent use of the plant, “Jam Master Jay was a pothead he smoked a lot of marijuana. Growing up, you’d go to the studio and it was not until we were older that we understood like, ‘Oh wow, this man was smoking weed.’ So he [would] definitely be here doing the same thing.”

Born on this day in 1965, “the best DJ in the U.S. of A.”, Jason William Mizell, also known as Jam Master Jay was born. The man behind the wheels of steel for the pioneering Hip Hop duo Run-D.M.C. was one of the greatest influences to ever walk the streets of his Hollis, Queens neighborhood and took his skills and expertise around the world, becoming a global trendsetter in the culture of Hip Hop.
JMJ brought many into the fold of Hip Hop royalty, including DJ Scratch of EPMD, Onyx, 50 Cent, and a host of others who owe their livelihoods to Jam Master Jay.
