Hip-hop, originating from a small block in the Bronx, has evolved into a global phenomenon, marked by the world's recognition and celebration of its 50-year legacy in 2023. This brand new special, hosted by Lenny S., acknowledges the future of the genre and takes us on an international journey with today's biggest hip hop artists as they find musical inspiration in cities around the world.

DJ Khaled, a major force in the music industry, mogul, executive, mega producer and recording artist, known as the "Anthem King" and commonly referred to as the "Quincy Jones of Hip Hop & R&B", has made dozens of chart topping hit records featuring Jay-Z, Kanye West, Rihanna, Drake, Chris Brown, Ludacris, T.I., French Montana, Future, Big Sean, Rick Ross, John Legend, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne, among others. Khaled has always found inspiration in the dancehall music of Jamaica.

The special also introduces noted guests along the journey who help the artists find inspiration for their music including Buju Banton, Usain Bolt, Mokobe, Mr. Leggo, Jean "Biggie" Sebastian and more.
