Cleveland, OH native rapper Nuke Franklin is tenacious, passionate, and often conflicted - qualities that drive his eclectic Hip-Hop style and put on display every detail of who he is to listeners. Influenced sonically by a variety of artists across Hip-Hop and R&B like Kid Cudi, The Weeknd, Tyler, The Creator, and Outkast to name off a few, Nuke pulls his inspiration from a wide range of ideas, situations, and moods. From braggadocious and hard hitting sounds like "Hidden Hills" to more somber and moody self-reflection based lyrics like "OHSHEITGAWDDAMN", Nuke's range is something that sets him apart from his peers. Instilled with a competitive edge by his upbringing in Cleveland and inspired by his early connections to family through music, Nuke started rapping and writing music at 13 years old and shows no signs of slowing down.

Cleveland's home for hip-hop, reggae, soul and jazz. Brittany's Record Shop (a.k.a. "The Little Shop That Won't Stop" was founded in March of 2017 by local DJ/Producer Brittany "Red-I" Benton. The shop is currently located in the mezzanine of Ohio City's City Goods shopping complex.
