PBS and BBC team with Chuck D to tell The Story of Hip-Hop

Deadline

The Public Enemy frontman and co-founder and his manager Lorrie Boula are working with BBC Studios on The Story of Hip-Hop with Chuck D, which traces the story of this globally influential art form over the past 40 years up to today, featuring some of rap's big names including Run DMC, LL Cool J and Queen Latifah. “The hip-hop community has, from the start, been doing what the rest of media is only now catching up to,” said Chuck D. “Long before any conglomerate realized it was time to wake up, hip-hop had been speaking out and telling truths. Working with PBS and BBC is an opportunity to deliver these messages through new ways and help explain hip-hop’s place in history and hopefully inspire us all to take it further.”
