Mogul
The first season of Mogul was hosted by Reggie Ossé, a hip-hop industry fixture and podcast legend who died from colon cancer shortly after the series wrapped in 2017. This year, Brandon Jenkins takes up the task of retelling hip-hop history, dissecting the rise of the genre in Miami. The main arc of the season follows 2 Live Crew, a boundary-pushing group whose provocative lyrics prompted numerous legal challenges—including one that eventually landed in front of the Supreme Court. The final episode expands to capture the general wildness of the early-’90s Miami music scene with a portrait of DJ Raw, who advertised drugs on the airwaves. Mogul captures the entrepreneurial spirit of its subjects even when their dreams are never realized and perfects the package with impressive audio-production values that are well suited to the show’s new carrier, Spotify.
