The Untold Story of Detroit Hip Hop

Eminem. Champtown. Slum Village. Royce da 5'9". These are the names of some of the rappers that come from the streets of Detroit, creating the Hip Hop scene in the area of the mid-West. Detroit stands as a monumental part of African American history and an important landmark in the culture of Hip Hop. But it may be safe to say, that the story of those that come from Detroit (and the city's influence) is not heard enough. Well, that is all about to change.

"The Untold Story of Detroit Hip Hop" is a documentary, executive produced by Alfred Smith III and Quomeini R. Adams. Although the documentary is almost completed, there is no set date for the release of the documentary. However, Beyond the Lyrics will be watching the moment this piece of history comes to television. You can check out more about the documentary atAllHipHop.com.
