*“TALES”, from Executive Producer & Creator Irv Gotti, is a scripted anthology series of “song stories” weaving classic and current hip-hop songs into captivating visual narratives from the lyrics of some of hip-hop’s greatest hits.

Far beyond the music video or the live event, “TALES” brings hip-hop alive in a completely new way for television.

The show is set to debut this Tuesday (06-27-17) at 8pm E/P on BET. Check out the sneak peek clip of the premiere episode below, “F*ck the Police”:

Through songs like NWA’s F*ck the Police, Notorious B.I.G.’s I Got A Story to Tell, Meek Mill’s “Cold Hearted,” Fetty Wap’s “Trap Queen”, to name a few, each song’s lyrics are imagined as cinematic adventures with different directors, including Irv Gotti’s directorial debut.

Each episode is written by a different screenwriter, introducing “TALES” as an innovative twist to the hip-hop culture by reimagining our favorite hip-hop songs as we know them into “mini-movies.”

Each episode of “TALES” embodies and redefines hip-hop music in an exciting way that is completely original to television.
