The hip hop era

[Zekariia]

It's 1987 in Norwood: a city built during a period of sprawling urban development. The economic market is slowly shrinking, making "movin' on up" more and more difficult for the people on the bottom. The social setting is almost entirely controlled by hip hop on the south side of town- the area where all of our characters reside. Although the police force of Norwood exists, the streets of south side are almost entirely controlled by street gangs- who rule by force and intimidation.
