Ep 8 'Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon'
The story of Juice WRLD, Pop Smoke, XXXTentacion and Lil Peep.
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.
