Remember when you first heard Walk This Way by RUN DMC and Aerosmith? How you just couldn’t help but turn up the volume and dance and how the energy carried you through the whole day? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you haven’t yet, now is the time to try it out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s quite spectacular what musical firework can happen when two completely different artists collaborate and share the spotlight. See below our playlist of artists merging their forces to create a new unusual potion, that looks beneath the surface of what to expect in music and genres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s kick it off with one of the most famous examples of two artists coming together in order to create something radically amazing. Walk This Way<\/em> was not only a massive hit but was the ultimate take-off for record label Def Jam. Producer Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons founded the label inside his NYU dormitory bedroom, where he would often host parties and remix songs himself. After discovering the beginning of Hip-Hop in New York City, he soon found himself on the hunt for the cities hottest new acts he could sign to his label. One of them being RUN DMC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The music video? A glorious triumph. The scenes in which both artists are singing the others literally against a wall, that is meant to portray their musical differences is a brilliant idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
