Jay-Z is set to reflect on his life and artistic journey in a new documentary series helmed by legendary producer Rick Rubin. The upcoming HBO program will feature intimate conversations between the two creative powerhouses as they explore the rapper’s extensive body of work and personal evolution throughout his career.
In a recently released preview, Jay-Z revisits some of his most iconic lyrics while discussing the origins of his passion for writing, which began during his childhood. He also weighs in on hip-hop’s enduring appeal, attributing much of the genre’s success to its representation of underdog narratives and the emotional connection those stories create with audiences worldwide.
The series will premiere with its first two episodes on September 18, with additional installments rolling out bi-weekly through early October. Each episode will center on specific tracks handpicked by Rubin, ranging from his 1996 debut album through more recent releases. The documentary is part of a larger celebration marking three decades since Jay-Z’s groundbreaking entrance into the music industry.
