An Official Selection of the 2012 Sundance Film Festival, SOMETHING FROM NOTHING: THE ART OF RAP explores and pays tribute to this most original American art form.. Nominated for Best Movie at the BET Awards. "In his debut as a documentarian, Ice T creates a vibrant portrait of how and why rap came to be." - Sara Stewart, New York Post.
