Journalist Alex Pappademas takes us on an epic journey that spans genres, mediums, and generations to explore what happens when a wildly successful piece of pop culture gets so big that it changes the world. This show is about how big hits get dreamed up, how they get made, and what happens when we make them our own.
Hot off the critical and commercial supernova that was good kid, m.A.A.d. city, Kendrick Lamar faces loss and confusion, and prepares to make an unexpected, groundbreaking next move.
