Even tho no one else from Cleveland blew up except from Kid Cudi and MGK which was more than a decade after Bone's run was over.

But East 99 is well known landmark in hip hop. And if any new rappers comes out of Cleveland they won't be looked at differently.

Because Bone opened that gate in 93.

Dizzy Rascal was the one that paved the way for UK rappers in mainstream hip hop.

Dizzy! The first rapper played around the world that didn't speak Queens english and spoke how the people really speak over there.

Do yall agree?

I've heard of him and I heard he was really big like 10 years ago, but honestly I've never heard his music, nor have I ever heard anybody on the IC talk about him.

I heard about him in 03 for the first time. When he dropped fix up, look sharp.

I think it was featured on a NFL or NBA Street game.
