Tougher Than Leather

Screenwriter Cheo Hodari Coker (Notorious) has reportedly signed on to adapt Tougher Than Leather: The Rise of Run-D.M.C. - The Authorized Biography by Bill Adler for the big screen.



The story will delve into the lives of rap legends Joseph "Run" Simmons, Darryl "D.M.C." McDaniels, and Jason "Jam Master Jay" Mizell. The hope for this film is that it reaches the same viewing audience as Notorious.



Run D.M.C. is set to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on April 4th.
