Run-DMC — Joseph "Run" Simmons, Darryl "DMC" McDaniels, Jam Master Jay — came out of Hollis Queens in the early 1980s and broke hip-hop into the mainstream forever. "Christmas in Hollis," "It's Tricky," "Walk This Way." Silk Road NYC at 166-30 Jamaica Ave is about 2 miles west of Hollis — same Queens, same cultural bedrock.
Hollis (east of Jamaica, ZIP 11423) and Jamaica (11432) are the same Queens hip-hop cradle. Run-DMC made cannabis culture in 1980s Queens. Silk Road NYC is the 2026 NY OCM-licensed continuation — the real lounge, real curation, real Queens pedigree.
