Netflix’s upcoming documentary miniseries Rapture will examine the hip-hop culture. According to the streaming platform, the series will offer an up close and personal look “into the artists’ lives with their families and friends, to sitting front row in the studio and grinding on tour, to experiencing the ecstatic power of moving the crowd.”

Netflix announced Sunday that the eight-part series will debut on March 30 and will feature a list of the genre’s top performers including Nas, Dave East, T.I., Rapsody, Logic, G-Eazy, A Boogie wit da Hoodie, 2 Chainz and more.

Directing and serving as executive producer is Sacha Jenkins who said in a statement, “Way back, when hip-hop culture was in its gestational phase, the powerful message therein didn’t go much further than the five boroughs of New York City. Today, rap music is the heartbeat of Mother Earth, and Netflix is the embodiment of the eyes from which she sees. We’ve been telling hip-hop stories since ’96, and as natives, we feel it is our duty to do the movement justice. Rapture is bangin’. Straight up.”

Shady is certainly still wildly popular, but he’s recently mentioned he might be wrapping up his career with Revival. “I don’t know. I’m at a funny place, you know?” he said in an NPR interview. “Hip-hop has been around for a long time but I don’t know if it’s really been around long enough to see how long someone could actually go for. You’ve still got guys like me and Jay-Z. Redman still has it, to me. I’m not sure what I’m going to do next, but I’m still passionate about music, and hip-hop.”

With this achievement, Eminem tied with some other artists who have also had eight No. 1 albums, such as U2, Madonna and Kenny Chesney. The record holders are the legendary Beatles with 19 No.1 albums in their career.
