eCLEctic: Thugs Eternal
Hailing from the Cleveland streets of E 99th & St. Clair, these five self-professed Thugs took the world by storm. What made Bone Thugs-N-Harmony unique was the fact that in addition to bringing their stories of thug life from the streets of their Glenville neighborhood, was their signature melodic flow that changed hip-hop music forever. When the group dropped their debut album, Creepin On Ah Come Up, no one in rap sounded like them and they influenced millions of fans, some of which were other notable hip-hop artists. Inspired by the passing of their beloved mentor and legend, Eazy-E, their Grammy Award Winning song, "Tha Crossroads," solidified the Cleveland collective as Hip-Hop Godfathers inspiring a generation of artists to come after them. Bone Thugs is the only rap group to have recorded with hip-hop legends Eazy-E, 2Pac and The Notorious B.I.G. On Friday, February 22nd join moCa Cleveland for a special edition of eCLEctic where we celebrate one of Cleveland's most legendary artist collectives, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. The group will discuss their legacy and future with VICE Senior Editor Wilbert Cooper, sharing stories about developing their signature style and flow, challenges to producing their debut EP in 1994, and the impact of their music on hip hop today. Then experience a one-of-a-kind performance that brings you closer to the group than ever before. moCa Cleveland has partnered with ILTHY, a global streetwear and design brand based in Cleveland, to bring a limited edition eCLEctic: Thugs Eternal T-Shirt which will be sold exclusively at moCa Cleveland at the event.
