Executive Producer and Showrunner P. Frank Williams Says His Goal Was to Humanize Slain Rappers

From Executive Producers Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson,  Mona Scott-Young, and P. Frank Williams, WE tv premieres the highly anticipated new series, Hip Hop Homicides, tonight, Thursday, November 3 at 9 PM ET/PT. New episodes will become available on the popular AMC streaming service ALLBLK, every Monday, following their premiere on WE tv.

“Executive Producing this series was truly a labor of love,” explains P. Frank Williams. “Oftentimes, the families and friends of these victims are hesitant to talk about these incidents for a myriad of reasons. But the Hip Hop Homicides team was determined to make sure that we gave them a proper investigation to help fans learn more about what really happened and to also get closure for their families.”

Setting itself apart from your average true-crime procedural, Hip Hop Homicides aims to provide an added layer to consider by taking a big-picture look at the epidemic of violence in hip-hop, while it humanizes the victims and attempts to understand why these murders continue to happen. The series investigates the murders of Pop Smoke, XXXTentacion, King Von, Magnolia Shorty, Chinx, Soulja Slim, Mo3, and FBG Duck.
