Rap's New Frontline

Season 1 Episode 2 of 3

Louis immerses himself in Florida's multimillion-dollar rap scene, which is as notable for the controversy surrounding its emerging stars as its creativity. He spends time with a number of artists who are achieving success through self-promotion on social media, from those playing out fierce rivalries online to rappers live-streaming their often violent and chaotic lifestyles. While drawing in an ever-growing fanbase attracted to its unvarnished portrayal of real-life struggles and hardship, this content has also drawn the attention of the authorities, who see it as evidence of criminals indulging in illegal gang activity

Louis Theroux's Forbidden America airs on U&W +1 at 1:55 AM, Sunday 1 June. (Subtitles, audio description.)
