Will Smith is set to host a new Audible podcast about what many say is the most pivotal year in Hip-Hop history, 1988.
Smith will be the main voice for Class of ’88, which is an eight-episode series that will feature Public Enemy’s Chuck D, Queen Latifah, Run-D.M.C.’s Darryl McDaniels, Salt-N-Pepa, Rakim and Smith’s rap partner DJ Jazzy Jeff. The eight-episode series produced by Wondery, Audible, Westbrook and Awfully Nice will launch in October on Audible and Amazon Music, Deadline reports.
“Hip-hop has been a central part of my life for over four decades,” Smith told Billboard. “I’m hyped to share my firsthand experiences and those of some of hip-hop’s greatest legends as we delve into the origins of one of the most influential genres of music in history.”
