In this exclusive interview, legendary artist, philanthropist, and hip-hop pioneer Danny Simmons joins Donnie Houston to talk about his latest auction featuring iconic memorabilia from his brother Russell Simmons — including rare Def Jam plaques, collectibles, and more.

Danny opens up about growing up with his brothers Russell Simmons and Rev Run, their early days in Queens, and witnessing the birth of hip-hop culture from the frontlines. He shares personal stories about the early Def Jam era, the rise of Run-DMC, and the creation of the groundbreaking show Def Poetry Jam on HBO.

In a deeply honest and inspiring moment, Danny also reflects on his journey to overcome addiction, how art helped save his life, and why preserving hip-hop history through this auction is so important.
