Independent British distributors Kaleidoscope Entertainment have revealed that they are planning to release on Blu-ray Something From Nothing: The Art Of Rap (2012). Directed by the legendary Ice-T and Andy Baybutt, this documentary film will be available for purchase on October 8th.
Rap or hip hop is a relatively new musical genre, with its roots generally traced to the 1970s and 1980s. Ice-T, a well-known rapper himself, looks back at the history of rap and interviews a range of hip hop artists including Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Dr Dre and Kanye West, to gain their thoughts on what the music means to them. The film also interviews a number of the pioneers of rap music and endeavours to tell the full story of the growth of rap from its humble cultural beginnings to a global phenomenon responsible for millions of record sales every year.
