On October 30, 2002 legendary DJ Jam Master Jay is gunned down in his New York studio. Security tapes of the incident mysteriously disappear, witnesses aren’t coming forward, and no one is talking…until now. 2 TURNTABLES AND A MICROPHONE documents the investigation of the still unsolved murder of Jason Mizell, aka Jam Master Jay, RUN DMC’s groundbreaking DJ and producer. Exclusive interviews with rap icons such as Method Man, Jay-Z, Russell Simmons, 50-cent, LL Cool J, and others give insight to Jay’s life off of the stage – including information that could finally help police solve the murder that shook the world of hip-hop to its core.

Directed by Guy Logan and produced by Stephon “Phonz” Watford and Lemel Humes, 2 TURNTABLES AND A MICROPHONE not only exposes the details surrounding the life and subsequent death of Jam Master Jay, but through riveting interviews with some of hip-hop’s greatest, takes a look at the history and evolution of hip-hop as we know it today.
