Ep 3 'on Everybody's Playlist'2021111520220217 (R1)In this episode we meet Juice WRLD. After starting out making music whilst still at school and releasing early tracks on Soundcloud Juice quickly developed a huge fanbase who connected to the emotional honesty and vulnerability in his music. By the age of 19 he'd signed a record deal for $3million. We hear from producers and collaborators who describe Juice's creative process, and how his standout track Lucid Dreams came about - which has now been streamed well over a billion times. Rapper XXXTentacion took a different route - setting up his own label and having more direct involvement in his releases, though his success in music was increasingly matched by controversy in his personal life.

02Ep 1 'look At Me'2021110820220203 (R1)Lil Peep and XXXTentacion were two artists from very different backgrounds who both broke through on the internet building huge and devoted fanbases seemingly out of nowhere. In this episode we trace back to before they were famous, following Lil Peep's growing interest in music and experimentation as a teenager growing up in Long Island, whilst down in Florida a kid who'd become known as XXXTentacion was honing his freestyle skills in a juvenile detention centre. Though they lead very different lives, right from the start their raw talent marked each of them out and their careers snowballed. They were starting to get some serious attention - but it would come at a price.

03Ep 2 'when I Die, Bury Me With All My Ice On'2021110820220210 (R1)Lil Peep is in LA, living and making music alongside a group of other artists in a house where the door is always open. It's a creative but relentless time from which it's hard to escape to unwind. Peep pours his feelings into his music - building an enormous fanbase but finding the endless attention hard to take sometimes. Relocating to London leads to new music and brings him into the fashion scene but within months he's back on tour and the pressure is mounting.

05Ep 4 'broken Hearts, Break Bones'2021111520220224 (R1)For all his success XXXTentacion was an increasingly controversial figure. His behaviour would divide audiences and the music industry alike, with some refusing to play his music at all. Even for journalists, trying to make sense of X was complicated - allegations of domestic violence meant some avoided covering him. But one young reporter wanted to hear from him directly and when, after a bit of investigative journalism, she found herself face to face with him on the doorstep she had the chance to question him herself.

06Ep 5 'the 21 Club'2021111920220303 (R1)This episode covers two tragic weeks in June 2018 as three rappers are shot and killed, all by the age of 21. Starting with the shocking death of XXXTentacion who was gunned down in broad daylight in Florida, we hear how the epidemic of gun violence in America is affecting young artists. Aware of the tragedy unfolding around him, Juice WRLD responds to the death of XXXTentacion - and Lil Peep just months before - in the way that he knows best, through music. But Legends, the track he releases in homage to these artists, includes worrying signs that he's anticipating a similar fate himself.

07Ep 6 'listen To My Story'2021111920220310 (R1)In this episode we take a look at internet culture and how it's influencing and inspiring hip-hop artists. But as Juice WRLD follows in the footsteps of heroes like Lil Wayne, he's starting to feel the pressures that come with online fame and with the intense release schedule that fans are coming to expect from artists. In Brooklyn, we meet Pop Smoke as he picks up the mic for the first time and starts rapping over beats by a British producer he finds on YouTube. He doesn't know it yet, but he's made a connection to a scene that will influence the rest of his career, and that will see British drill fans going wild for the rising star.

08Ep 7 'police On My Ass, Buckle Up'2021112220220317 (R1)Like many artists in this scene, Juice WRLD is open about his drug use and he raps about it freely in his music. But some of those around him are worried about him and his girlfriend encourages him to get clean. Juice pushes himself harder and harder as he works to perfect his performances and his production, he's touring with international stars and is going mainstream. Meanwhile Pop Smoke is quickly turning into New York's hottest new rapper. But he's coming under scrutiny from law enforcement as he struggles to shake off the reputation he has with the police. Juice WRLD too is getting attention from law enforcement and something terrible is about to happen as he flies by private jet back to his hometown of Chicago.

09Ep 8 'shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon'2021112220220324 (R1)Pop Smoke is riding high as he builds his career and starts to find international success. When he makes his first trip to the UK at the end of 2019, it's like rap royalty is in town and his show sets London on fire. It looks like a star's been born, but tragedy is only just around the corner. As the series draws to a close, we'll explore whether the music industry, which profits from the releases of artists who've passed, could be offering better support whilst they're alive and whether more can be done to protect young artists coming up.
