The Scratch Academy honored the legendary Run-D.M.C. DJ during its 10th anniversary celebration yesterday. Jay's son and widow were both in attendance.

According to the New York Post, fellow group member Darryl "D.M.C." McDaniels, also performed some Run-D.M.C. hits including 'Walk this Way' and 'It's Tricky.'

Jam Master Jay was was shot to death on Oct. 30, 2002, in his recording studio in Jamaica, Queens. His legacy continues to live on through the Scratch Academy -- which now has locations in Los Angeles, Miami and Chicago -- and the many artists and DJs he mentored during his life.
