After being in the spotlight for many years, fans of Ye will finally get a deeper look into the rapper's life. Described as a "step inside the journey of Kanye West," the three-part documentary will be out on Netflix next month. Here's everything you need to know about jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy.
The news was announced on Monday during a press release: "Filmmakers Coodie and Chike have created an extraordinary film and we’re honored that they have trusted TIME Studios to produce jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy,” TIME Studios President Ian Orefice said. "We’re excited to partner with Iconic Events Releasing to give the world a chance to first experience the once-in-a-generation storytelling in theaters." We, too, are very excited to watch the documentary. Luckily we won't have to wait until Netflix drops it, because Act 1 of the 3 part series will be available for audiences to watch in theatres around the country, thanks to Iconic Events Releasing.
Act 1 will introduce Mr. West and give us a look into the artist's childhood. More information on what to expect was given after the official trailer was dropped. Throughout the over one-minute-long video, we see bits and pieces of the 44-year old's life. From recovering from the 2002 car crash and Ye calling himself a genius, to the notorious concert performance with Kid Cudi at the Yeezy Season 3/The Life of Pablo listening party, we'll be getting a BTS like no other. Fans should expect to see many iconic moments that the famous rapper has been through. The Ceo of Iconic Events Releasing, Steve Bunnell, said in a statement that the documentary is a "must-see" for fans. "Through his work as a performer, producer, and entrepreneur, few artists or businessmen have had a greater impact on worldwide popular culture than Kanye West over the last twenty years," Bunnell explained.
