All the way back from the dominance of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony (Bone Thugs), a group that has sold well over 30 million albums to Al Fatz whose upstart song “Came Down” was heard by millions on the popular Madden ’07 video game, artists from Cleveland have overcome dejection and the lack of opportunity to make a unique contribution to the world of hip-hop.
RAPLAND 216 features over 40 artists from Cleveland as well as there views about an impoverished city with limited outlets for its artists. Rappers such as the D.O.C. Showstoppaz reflect on the violence that plagued their childhoods while Neshia Nee and DJ Bucc X-O show the importance of being responsible parents.
