Hulu’s highly-anticipated original docuseries “RapCaviar Presents” debuted exclusively to the platform today (Mar. 30). The series based on Spotify’s influential RapCaviar playlist features some of hip hop’s biggest names like City Girls, Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B and Tyler, the Creator. Check out the trailer inside.

The compelling new documentary series tackles some of today’s most provocative issues through the stories of hip hop visionaries and emerging stars currently ruling the charts and influencing our culture, from City Girls to Tyler, The Creator, Polo G, Roddy Ricch, Coi Leray and more. The series is based on the influential Spotify RapCaviar playlist, which was first launched in 2015. This six-part series is a deep dive into current events that untangles important subjects and offers a view of the world from an artist’s perspective.

“RapCaviar Presents” will be Executive Produced by Karam Gill, who will also serve as Creative Director; Steve Rivo, who will also serve as showrunner; Carl Chery and Liz Gateley, who are overseeing creative on the show for Spotify; and Eli Holzman and Aaron Saidman on behalf of The Intellectual Property Corporation (IPC), a part of Sony Pictures Television. Av Accius, Jeremiah Murphy and Marcus A. Clarke serve as Co-EPs. Karam Gill, Quan Lateef-Hill, Peter J. Scalettar, Wendy J.N. Lee, Farah X and Mandon Lovett will also serve as episodic Directors.
