The Chuck D-produced PBS docuseries “Fight The Power: How Hip Hop Changed The World” will premiere January 31, 2023, the network said Wednesday.

Developed by the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer and frontman of Public Enemy, the series will feature firsthand accounts from other rap legends such as Ice-T, Fat Joe, Run DMC, MC Lyte, will.i.am., Lupe Fiasco and more as it looks to delve into how hip-hop created a provocative narrative of America, PBS said at the Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour.

“The hip hop community has, from the start, been doing what the rest of media is only now catching up to,” said Chuck D, who produced the series alongside producing partner Lorrie Boula and in partnership with BBC Music. “Long before any conglomerate realized it was time to wake up, hip hop had been speaking out and telling truths. Working with PBS and BBC is an opportunity to deliver these messages through new ways and help explain hip hop’s place in history and hopefully inspire us all to take it further.”
