The first trailer shows LL traveling through New York City rap history as the Queens legend speaks to a wide variety of NYC rap icons to paint explain how hip-hop came to fruition.

“To understand the power of hip-hop today, you gotta go back to where it all started,” LL says in the clip as he ventures to the Bronx to scope out hip-hop’s origins.
