David Harewood takes us from the birth of hip-hop in the early 1980s to the present day, exploring how a new generation of producers and performers increasingly began to own their 'creative capital', and became billionaires with lifestyles to match.

He explores the influence of hip-hop on 90s film with director Allen Hughes, meets The Wire actor Jamie Hector, learns about the bling and excess of Puff Daddy's parties from his in-house photographer Johnny Nunez, talks with choreographer Sherrie Silver about her work on Childish Gambino’s This Is America video, and meets Black Panther star Florence Kasumba.
