The series come from executive producer Malcolm Spellman and Oscar and Emmy-winning production company Lightbox. It examines a dying breed of power brokers who operate from the shadows of hip hop. Set against 40 years of music history, this six-part documentary series, directed by Rashidi Natara Harper, 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 tellsthe story from the streets up, as it reveals the story of how America’s streets helped shape hip hop culture from an expression of survival and defiance into one of music’s most dominant genres.
Hip Hop Uncovered is executive produced by Jonathan Chinn and Simon Chinn from Lightbox along with Malcolm Spellman, Rashidi Natara Harper, Eugene “Big U” Henley, Jimmy “JimBob” Chris, Douglas Banker and BJ Levin, and is co-executive produced by Stephen Neely.FX

Business is booming in season four of Snowfall. It’s January 1, 1985. Ronald Reagan has won his re-election campaign, proclaiming it is “morning again in America.” But in South Central Los Angeles, the demand for crack cocaine is high, and while a crew of dealers led by Franklin Saint (Damson Idris) are benefiting greatly from the rising tide of addiction, they are also starting to become aware of the damage the drug is doing to the people and to the place they love.
With the entire nation taking note, the LAPD is diverting serious money and resources to the “war on drugs.” Politicians’ phones are ringing. Powerful people are concerned, from the hallways of The White House to CIA headquarters, where there are whispers that one of their own may be involved in this burgeoning epidemic.
Created by John Singleton & Eric Amadio and Dave Andron, Snowfall is executive produced by Singleton, Andron, Thomas Schlamme, Amadio, Michael London, Trevor Engelson, Leonard Chang, Walter Mosley and Julie DeJoie. Andron serves as showrunner.
