Taraji P Henson to host Apple podcast series Jacked, focused on New Jack Swing music era

Taraji P Henson will host a new podcast series focused on the story behind the New Jack Swing music era.

Wondery and Universal Music Group announced Thursday that Henson will host Jacked: The Rise of New Jack Swing. The six-part series will premiere on 17 November on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and the Wondery App.

The Oscar-nominated actor will also serve as a producer of the series, which is being dubbed as the “rise and eventual fall” of the New Jack Swing movement. The series will delve into the complex relationships between a group of teenagers from Harlem who created the musical sound.

STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

The story will involve “dashed hopes, jealousy, betrayal, drugs, hip-hop and rivalries.”

Megaproducer Teddy Riley is known as the leader of the New Jack Swing era, which made its mark in the ’80s and ’90s. The musical style was a fusion of hip-hop, R&B, jazz, and funk.
