It is the ultimate look at the greatest and most mysterious musician of the modern era. Prince was a genius singer, songwriter, guitarist, and performer but how did he create so much music, what was he like as a person, what was his childhood like? This eight episode series is built on interviews with people who were close to him-people who played in his bands, managed his career, engineered his music, or dated him. They explore his multiple personalities, his love of basketball, his insane work ethic, his ability to play almost every instrument, his love of clothes, his turbulent childhood where he left his parents, his romantic life, his baby who died after a few days, and his tragic end. You would hear stories about Prince and Liz Taylor, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, and many more. This is a deep look inside the life of an unforgettable man.

Nikki Giovanni is one of the greatest living poets in the world. I grew up hearing Ego Tripping recited over and over in ways that seemed to magically transform all who recited it and all who heard it. And so many of her other poems are so simple or so beautiful or so powerful that I can't forget them. Plus Nikki is a joy to be around. She's funny, smart, humble, and she's cool. She's the best dinner guest imaginable. In this hour plus conversation we talk about: Her insight into Trump voters after a life lived in Appalachia. The impact of watching domestic violence in her childhood home. How she rebounded from a health scare by getting onstage. What makes a great poem. How she learned to cry. Why she feels she needs to go into outer space.

Puff (or Sean Combs, or Diddy, or Brother Love) is one of the greatest business minds in the country today. He's closing in on being a billionaire thanks to his many revenue streams-#1 Ciroc, #2 Sean John. He's done it by being fearless in business, by being a creative visionary, by being a great marketer who understands how to infuse his brand into anything. Puff is indefatigable. He's driven like no one you've ever seen. He's great at inspiring people and setting a high bar for everyone around him. And he's done it by using himself as billboard for his brand. He's a star because it helps him sell. Yeah he's got a huge ego but he uses his stardom strategically, to help himself sell so when the guy you saw dancing and rhyming alongside Biggie Smalls is now looking dapper and holding Ciroc, the vodka looks better. When he takes the audaciousness that he brought to the music biz and injects into the fashion biz, his clothes sell more. Being an icon helps him in business. And that's just part of why he's so successful.

In this intense conversation, he explores the development of his style of art and explains how he became a star and the challenges of setting up shop in a far-flung country-once in the Congo he and his team got thrown in jail for five days. Kehinde is a genius. Flat out. And he's an extrovert. And it's always fun to encounter that combination. There's a lot here for people who want to be artists, people who love art, or people who have big dreams-Kehinde is all about all of that.
