The Untold Story About Detroit Hip Hop, Eminem, Proof & 8 Mile

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ stlhiphop.com) - After over a decade of silence, members of 5 Ela (the late rapper Proof's group consisting of childhood friends) sat down with b-gyrl of stlhiphop.com and gave the untold story about Detroit hip hop, offering chilling details into the events surrounding Proof's death and insight into his relationship with Eminem.

The interview consists of actual raw audio of frontman "Thyme" Russell and Muddrich "Mudd" Barthalomew Watson discussing everything from coming up with Proof to creating the movement that launched the careers of the biggest names in Detroit hip hop including Jay Dilla to dispelling many of the accepted myths about the movie 8 Mile including Proof's relationship with Eminem.

It also contains never before heard details about Proof's passing and funeral, including Eminem getting an achievement award at Proof's funeral, D12's attempt to lay the blame on Mudd who was actually with Proof the night he got killed and the fact that neither Em or D12 reached out to them in the aftermath.

The interview is featured this month on www.stlhiphop.com and includes actual audio clips of the actual exchange.
