Hip-hop pioneer Russell Simmons announced plans Thursday for a Broadway musical that aims to span the history of the rap musical genre. Simmons, who has worked with many top rappers as a producer and chairman of the Def Jam label, said that the musical would feature some of the greatest hits since hip-hop broke into the mainstream in the late 1980s. The musical, to be called "The Scenario," aims to premiere in New York in late 2016, said Simmons, who will serve as a producer. "Hip-hop's explosion was fueled by a generation with an incredible hunger to discover new ways of expression," Simmons said in a statement.
