In the past two years, I have recently been introduced to Cleveland’s hip hop scene, mostly because of Kid Cudi and Chip The Ripper. Though my mother was born is Cleveland, Ohio, she nor I knows much about it at all. I came across an artist who could help all of us learn a little bit more about what Cleveland hip hop is about. Meet TREAZON…

So by now, I think my point about the internet being the biggest thing in hip hop at the moment has been driven home. Nero is no exception. He’s exercised and expended all the outlets of new age music technology, from MySpace, Facebook, Twitter and of course the plethora of blogs. But that’s about where me using the “new” term could stop. What makes Nero a little different is that his musical style could make a 1993 Hip Hop heads shed a tear to find out that Nas’ 2006 album title wasn’t completely true.

Since the birth of hip hop music, there is no denying that regardless of the expansion of the genre’s widespread appeal, New York and California are still the front runners for most of hip hop’s recognition.

In this ever-evolving age of technology, you have to commend an artist who takes full advantage of the extended outlets that have emerged in music marketing. Some of these outlets have completely replaced some of the more traditional methods that artists use to get their music out to the public and into the ears of the people who could possibly take them to the next level.
