Allow me to introduce 216, the latest and biggest duo coming from the streets of Cleveland.   Rekindling the crowd-pumping, lyrically inspiring vibe of hip-hop’s golden age, 216’s sound is full of edgy, envelop-pushing lyrics, packing heavy baselines and aggressive instrumentals.

Their upcoming album, The Game Is Life, is a funky, soulful, substance-laden, vex of instrumentals, layered with weighty vocals and hi-intensity wordplay.

The 18-track album plays out like theater, part humor and  part protest and struggle. A large portion of the musical orchestration was provided by hit maker Scott Storch, with on-point guest appearances by Fat Joe, Butch Cassidy, Hitman, Sleepy Brown, and NBA All-Star Jalen Rose, helping 216 to illustrate the glory and God-awful truths of urban existence.

In fact, this album has come after years of hard work, paying their dues pounding the pavement and even living and working a year with the legendary Parrish Smith of EPMD.
