On the shores of Lake Erie lies one of America’s most poverty-stricken, and according to the media, one of the worst cities to live in…Cleveland, Ohio a.k.a. “the mistake on the lake”. It’s hard to maintain a regular job here let alone breakthrough in the music industry, and those who do make end up following trends and therefore not giving the city its own original sound. But there is hope. From the eastside slums of Cleveland dwells an entrepreneur by the name of B-No Good.
B-No Good was created to destroy the current state of hip hop/rap music with grungy-style beats, hardcore and relevant rhymes, with topics that people of a broad spectrum can relate. Inspired by the knowledge driven raps of The Wu-Tang Clan, and the production style of Madlib, El-P, J Dilla, The RZA, and Timbaland, B-No Good is an artist of incredible range. Not motivated by flashiness, materialism and fame; B-No’s music is a pure definition of the struggle of the working man. His style is uniquely aimed at the revitalization of both the hip hop industry and the city of Cleveland, Ohio.
In addition to rhyming he is also the founder and producer of 2-1-Sick Radio- a college based program broadcasting every Saturday night at midnight [Sunday at 12:00 am EST] on WCSB Cleveland 89.3 FM and streaming live at www.wcsb.org! B-No is also the president of Cleveland NORML- Northeast Ohio's regional chapter of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. For more information, visit www.clevelandnorml.org.
