THE INSPIRATION

Following the death of Jam Master Jay (aka Jason Mizel) of RUN-D.M.C. fame, David Clark was approached by the Jam Master Jay Foundation, and Jay’s wife Terry Corley Mizel in 2007, to create a fitting tribute to her husband Jam Master Jay. Since Jay was committed to promoting inner-city art and music education for children, and was a vocal advocate for social justice, Clark fused these passions with Jam Master Jay’s name, to create the first socially responsible awards in the hip hop community: The “J.A.M. Awards,” which promote Justice, Arts and Music (“J.A.M.”).
