*HBO released the teaser for “JAŸ-Z IN 8,” an eight-part documentary series featuring Jay-Z in conversation with Rick Rubin.
The series will debut this fall on HBO and stream on HBO Max in the United States. The project brings Jay-Z and Rubin together for a wide-ranging discussion about the rapper’s music, lyrics, life experiences, and creative process. HBO describes the series as a candid and intimate conversation years in the making.
Rubin, who directed “McCartney 3,2,1,” leads the documentary series behind the camera while also appearing as one of its featured participants. Jay-Z offers reflections about artistry and the experiences that shaped his work.
“Everyone had this same experience, except I was the one who could stand on the soapbox and articulate what we were going through,” Jay says in the teaser. Rubin replies, “Without the pain, you wouldn’t have done the work.”
