ABOUT THE RECORD King of Rock, by Run DMC, produced by Russell Simmons and Larry Smith. King of Rock became the first rap album released on CD. The album saw the group adopting a more rock-influenced sound, with several tracks prominently featuring heavy guitar riffs. The song "Roots, Rap, Reggae" features Yellowman, and was one of the first hybrids of rap and dancehall. King of Rock peaked at No. 52 on the Billboard 200, and No. 12 on the Top R&B/Hip Hop Albums chart. The album was first certified as Gold on June 3, 1985, before it was certified as Platinum by the RIAA on February 18, 1987. The album features four Billboard chart singles: King of Rock, You Talk Too Much, Jam-Master Jammin' and Can You Rock It Like This. King of Rock peaked at No. 80 on the UK Singles Chart on March 16, 1985. King of Rock was ranked at No. 44 on NME's list of the 50 Albums Released In 1985 That Still Sound Great Today. King of Rock featured a popular music video, which became a fan favorite on MTV. It featured Calvert DeForest, also known as Larry "Bud" Melman of NBC's Late Night with David Letterman fame.
