Jay-Z s Empire State of Mind is well documented, but what about a Buckeye State of Mind? He ll find out later this year when he celebrates his induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio.
The rap great joins a crop of performers including Tina Turner, Carole King, The Go-Go s, Foo Fighters, and Todd Rundgren for its class of 2021, what the organization calls its most diverse group of inductees ever.
