The unsolved murder of Run-DMC’s Jam Master Jay (Jason Mizell) has haunted the music world for years. TV One’s “PAYBACK” returns this Wednesday with the second part of its deep dive into the case, and it appears they’ve unearthed some game-changing information. “It’s Tricky: Part Two” picks up where the first episode left off, with investigators still puzzled by the circumstances surrounding Mizell’s death in his Queens recording studio in 2002.
Years of dead ends and conflicting accounts have shrouded the case in mystery. But this episode presents a different angle, exploring a side of Mizell that hasn’t been widely publicized, which sheds light on potential motives and suspects. “PAYBACK” suggests that this newly revealed information finally provides the missing pieces of the puzzle, potentially leading to answers that have eluded authorities for so long.
True crime documentaries often hinge on the “aha!” moment, the sudden revelation that reframes the entire story. “It’s Tricky: Part Two” seems to deliver that moment, giving viewers, and perhaps law enforcement, a clearer picture of what really happened to a hip-hop icon. Tune in to TV One this Wednesday, April 16th at 9:00 PM ET/PT to find out if the truth, as the saying goes, will finally set us free.
