Ep 6 'Listen to My Story'

Legends Fall in the Making

Available for over a year

In this episode we take a look at internet culture and how it's influencing and inspiring hip-hop artists. But as Juice WRLD follows in the footsteps of heroes like Lil Wayne, he's starting to feel the pressures that come with online fame and with the intense release schedule that fans are coming to expect from artists. In Brooklyn, we meet Pop Smoke as he picks up the mic for the first time and starts rapping over beats by a British producer he finds on YouTube. He doesn't know it yet, but he's made a connection to a scene that will influence the rest of his career, and that will see British drill fans going wild for the rising star.
