RUN-D.M.C. released "It's Tricky" from their third album Raising Hell on February 8, 1987. The song immediately rose to number 57 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at number 21 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

The music video features the world famous magicians Penn and Teller who hustle people with a card game in downtown Los Angeles. RUN-D.M.C. weren't having none of that and immediately shut down their operation by winning every hand they threw at them.

Did you know that the band The Knack sued Run-D.M.C. for using the sample from their song "My Sharona" without their permission.
