The JAM awards were held on November 29th at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC. They were the first awards in the hip-hop community to recognize social responsibility. The event honored the late Jam Master Jay’s life (RUN DMC) and legacy and his efforts to promote social Justice, Arts and Music (J.A.M.) worldwide (awards were given in each of these categories) .
Current Television partnered with the creators of the JAM awards and the JMJ foundation in order to provide in depth coverage of the event. Several artists who performed also provided in depth interviews that highlighted positivity in the hip-hop community, the importance of giving back, and support of Jam Master Jay’s legacy. Raekwon (of the Wu Tang Clan), Dead Prez, Jim Jones, LL Cool J, De La Soul, Mobb Deep, EPMD, Dj Kool Herc, DMC, Papoose, Russell Simmons and several others are all featured in behind stage interviews.
This is not your standard Awards show coverage. It is a blend of hip-hop history documentary, stellar award show performance, and a showcase of the biggest names in the business supporting a hip hop pioneers legacy.

This is going to be far better than any lame awards show we normally get fed. Let's face it the emmys, grammys, golden globe, oscars, viewers choice, sag, and mtv awrad shows are just a bunch of self-congratulating, over-hyped, marketing. I do not watch them or anything that has to do with them. I do not even want to hear who won or how he host did. I just do not care. The JAM Awards looks like a breath of fresh air. De La Sol is the best. RUN-DMC is the best. Current is the best for having the Jam Awards. My respect and appreciation for Current has just gone up 125%.

This is a very special program Current is proud to host - and it's more than an awards show.
Anthony Marshall gives us an amazing glimpse into the bedrock of Hip Hop.
From the Five Boroughs to the Four Pillars - from Hollis to Hammerstein!
Watch it all go down this Tuesday!
