Ohio Hip Hop
Ohio hip hop is rap from the state of Ohio, led by Cleveland, with other artists from Cincinnati, Columbus and Canton.
Cleveland's Bone Thugs-n-Harmony became famous in the mid-1990s for fast, harmonized, half-sung rapping. Kid Cudi, also from Cleveland, brought a moody, hummed, introspective style in the late 2000s that influenced many later rappers. Trippie Redd of Canton continued that melodic line. The state has no single sound, but singing rappers are a common thread.
Artists it is known for: Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Kid Cudi, Trippie Redd.
