U.S. prosecutors announced on Monday that two men are being charged for the murder of Jam Master Jay, one of the founder members of Run-DMC.  The 37-year-old rapper was murdered back in 2002 “in cold blood” as part of a dispute over a drug deal.

Jam Master Jay – whose real name was Jason Mizell — was shot inside a recording studio in the New York City borough of Queens. One of the accused men, Karl Jordan Jr., pleaded not guilty to murder and eight drug-related charges through his lawyer when he was arraigned on Monday. The other man, Ronald Washington, will be arraigned later this week. If convicted they would face 20 years to life behind bars.

Seth DuCharme, the acting U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said at a news conference, “This is a case about a murder that for nearly two decades had gone unanswered, and so today we begin to answer that question of who killed Jason Mizell, and why They walked in and they murdered him (Mizell) in cold blood.”

Run-DMC, one of the best-known rap acts of the 1980s. Jam Master Jay was a founding member, along with Joseph “Run” Simmons and Darryl “DMC” McDaniel.

A reboot of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air executive produced by Will Smith and Quincy Jones is in the works. The reboot has been in the planning stages for more than a year, and is being shopped to streaming platforms including Peacock, Netflix, and HBO.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the reboot will be a “dramatic take on the former NBC comedy that catapulted Smith to stardom after he spent six seasons starring as the street-smart kid who moved from Philly to the upper-class neighborhood.”

Morgan Cooper, the director of the fan-made Bel-Air trailer that the reboot is based off, will co-write the script, direct and be credited as a co-executive producer. Smith had spoken favorably of the trailer when it came out, saying: “Morgan did a ridiculous trailer for Bel-Air. Brilliant idea, the dramatic version of The Fresh Prince for the next generation.”

The Black-ish episode that never aired will finally make its debut on Hulu. The episode, titled “Please, Baby, Please,” focused on racism and the state of the country one year after Donald Trump was elected President, but was shelved by Disney/ABC in 2018.

Now, Hulu will finally be airing the episode, which series creator Kenya Barris announced on Twitter:  “In November 2017, we made an episode of ‘black-ish’ entitled ‘Please, Baby, Please.’ We were one year post-election and coming to the end of a year that left us, like many Americans, grappling with the state of our country and anxious about its future,” he wrote. “Those feelings poured onto the page, becoming 22 minutes of television that Iwas, and still am, incredibly proud of. Please, Baby, Please’ didn’t make it to air that season, and while much has been speculated about its contents, the episode has never been seen publicly… until now.”
