If you’re a fan of MTV’s Run’s House, then you’re already familiar with Team Blackout, the hip-hop trio consisting of Rev. Run’s oldest teenage son Jojo Simmons, and his childhood friends Zach and Reggie. For the past four-years, millions of Run's House fans have watched Team Blackout develop, on-air, into a full-fledged group to watch out for. Now, the trio can boast all their efforts and hard work as they release their much awaited debut album called “Lights Out.”
Since the 7th grade, the teenage Run’s House star and his friends have been jamming together. But it wasn’t until the 2003 New York City Blackout that Jojo, Zach and Reggie decided to officially form their group. Hence, the name Team Blackout. Since then, they've been putting their act together, in the studio, on stage and even on the television series Run’s House.

Nowadays, most headline stories about teen celebrities are usually negative controversies that involve drunk driving, rehab and out of control behavior, just to name a few. Nevertheless, there are still a few remaining youngsters that can actually be considered as role models. According to public relations firm Mosnar Communications, Inc., Rev. Run's daughters, Angela Simmons and Vanessa Simmons, who both stars on MTV's Run's House, are likely to point young girls in the right direction. Even the Girl Scouts agree as the Simmons sisters are now the designated role models for the Girl Scouts organization.
Although the Simmons sisters became famous for being the nieces of hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons and daughters of his brother Rev. Run, they have certainly become celebrities in their own rights. Both have a solid following of fans and have successfully sold over $15 million dollars last year of their brand Pastry sneakers, which is now being expanded to include handbags, jewelry and other products.

For many years now, we have associated Kool-Aid with a large anthropomorphic frosty pitcher, also known as the Kool-Aid man. Now, the artificially-flavored soft drink mix owned by the Kraft Foods Company has decided to use another face to promote its upcoming ventures. Enter Rev. Run, one of the founding members of hip hop group Run-D.M.C and the star of the reality series Run's House.
Although the Kool-Aid man will remain the mascot of Kool-Aid, the Run's House star is set to appear in POS displays and other promotions of Kool-Aid and will speak directly to consumers about healthy lifestyle choices and the benefits of play. These are all part of Rev. Run's job as the new brand ambassador for the Kool-Aid KaBOOM! initiative.
