Hip Hop Uncovered: The Untold Story of How America's Streets Shaped the Music Industry's Most Dominant Genre In this documentary series, executive producer Malcolm Spellman and Oscar® and Emmy®-winning production company Lightbox examine a dying breed of power brokers who operate from the shadows of hip hop. Set against 40 years of music history, Hip Hop Uncovered takes a deep dive into the paradox of America’s criminalization of the genre and its fascination with the street culture that created it and still exists within it. Instead of telling the story of hip hop from the top down, Hip Hop Uncovered tells the story from the streets up, revealing the untold story of how America’s streets helped shape hip hop culture from an expression of survival and defiance into music’s most dominant genre. With exclusive access to key players and never-before-seen footage, this six-part series promises to deliver a fresh and compelling perspective on one of the most influential cultural movements of our time.
