Netflix has dropped off the official trailer for its upcoming documentary LADIES FIRST: A Story of Women in Hip-Hop, releasing in honor of hip-hop’s 50th anniversary.
The four-episode docu is billed as a series that “recontextualizes the irrepressible women of hip hop and their role in the genre’s 50 years by reinserting them into the canon where they belong: at the center, from day one to present day.” Viewers can expect words from icons such as MC Lyte, Queen Latifah and Rah Digga, current chart-toppers like Latto and Tierra Whack, contemporary superstars like Saweetie and Coi Leray and important figures like record labels execs, stylists and journalists. “LADIES FIRST: A Story of Women in Hip-Hop contextualizes the history of the music that changed the world within the wider social, racial, and political landscape of the times and, crucially, through a female lens,” the synopsis reads.
dream hampton, Troy Carter, Raeshem Nijhon, Carri Twigg, MC Lyte, Nicole Galovski, Justin Simien and Jennifer Ryan serve as executive producers.
Watch the full trailer above. LADIES FIRST: A Story of Women in Hip-Hop premieres August 9 on Netflix.
