Rom is joined by D12, the iconic hip-hop group from Detroit. Formerly led by Eminem, the group is known for topping charts with albums such as Devil's Night and D12 World.

Rom inducts more hip hop greats into the Hall Of Fame - this time welcoming Detroit hip-hop group D12. Known for making waves throughout the early 2000s with leader Eminem, the group had hits with Purple Hills, Fight Music and My Band.

Celebrating their legacy, Rom hears their stories, in their words, as members Swifty and Kaniva talk all about their hip-hop history, and the making of their brand new album, D12 Forever Vol. 1.

Rom also plays hits from Cypress Hill, and 2Pac, with newer sounds from Octo and BigXThaPlug.

Produced by Folded Wing for BBC Radio 2.
