News Provided By BBC Radio 1 Xtra



Radio 1Xtra’s brand new rap documentary podcast Legends Fall In The Making premiered Monday on BBC Sounds.



1Xtra’s brand new rap documentary podcast Legends Fall in the Making is hosted by Ashley John-Baptiste.



"As a BBC journalist and Hip-Hop fan it has been astonishing to delve into the stories of these four rappers. They were creative icons who helped shape culture with their music, but they were also human. This podcast celebrates their musical journeys, reflects on the shifting industry landscape - and also asks tough but necessary questions about their passing."

— Ashley John-Baptiste

In 1Xtra’s first-ever investigative documentary podcast series Legends Fall in the Making, journalist and presenter Ashley John-Baptiste will take a deep dive into the life stories and careers of rappers Lil Peep, Pop Smoke, XXXTentacion, and Juice WRLD. All four American rappers are known to have disrupted the Hip-Hop world in their own unique ways and then suddenly died either as a result of gun violence or drug overdoses. More tragically, each passed away aged 21 or younger, and as their careers were on the rise.

The series, made up of eight episodes, will feature archive material of the young men, alongside exclusive interviews with friends, fans, and musical counterparts, including Ski Mask The Slump God, Rico Nasty, Lil Tecca, and Wicca Phase Springs Eternal.



Host Ashley John-Baptiste will lead us through an in-depth look at each rappers’ journey to fame and, through interviews and archives, why things went so wrong and what, if anything, we can learn to stop similar untimely deaths from happening in the future.



An accompanying BBC iPlayer documentary, Legends Fall In The Making, will premiere on BBC iPlayer in early 2022.



Ashley John-Baptiste says: “As a BBC journalist and Hip-Hop fan, it has been astonishing to delve into the stories of these four rappers. They were creative icons who helped shape culture with their music, but they were also human. This podcast celebrates their musical journeys, reflects on the shifting industry landscape - and also asks tough but necessary questions about their passing. This is a must-listen that will take listeners on an unforgettable journey.”



Faron McKenzie, Head of BBC Radio 1Xtra, says: “1Xtra is home to some of the biggest shows in Hip-Hop and has been a long-standing champion of the genre - one of Pop Smoke’s final interviews was in our very own studios with DJ Target. In our first-ever investigative documentary podcast series, it’s important we pay homage to these four artists who had an undeniable impact on the Hip-Hop world, and delve deeper into their lives and careers to share their stories with our audience.”



Episode one of Legends Fall In The Making is available to listen to now on BBC Sounds



Legends Fall In The Making is a BBC Studios Factual Podcasts production for BBC Sounds. Produced by Tayo Popoola, the Series Editor is Anya Saunders and Executive Producers are Georgia Moseley and Poppy Damon. It was commissioned for BBC Sounds by Pop Commissioning Executive Louise Kattenhorn.
