Netflix gives FIRST LOOK at Kanye West’s Jeen-Yuhs documentary that will span over 20 YEARS and will touch on the tragic loss of the rapper’s mother and his failed run for presidency
The first look at the upcoming Kanye West documentary, Jeen-Yuhs, was released on Netflix’s official YouTube account on Saturday.
During the clip, the 44-year-old rap mogul was seen performing with his friend and collaborator, Mos Def, while hanging out with a group of other individuals who marveled at the pair’s rapping skills.
The feature has been in the works for just over two decades, and it is currently set to be released on the streaming service in 2022.
The 47-year-old rapper then began his verse and notably shouted out his collaborator while demonstrating his impressive grasp on wordplay.
The Grammy-winning songwriter went on to perform his part of the song and became much more animated as his portion progressed in intensity.
The group of individuals present reacted to the rappers’ performances following the end of the track, and Mos Def and West were also seen congratulating each other.
The first look clip ended with the revelation that the feature’s official name was Jeen-Yuhs.
A specific release date was not given following the conclusion of the featurette, although a screen with a text graphic that read ‘coming soon’ was shown.
The news about the forthcoming feature was first reported by Billboard, who initially released information about the project in April.
Multiple subjects from the performer’s life will be covered, including his failed bid for the presidency of the United States and the pᴀssing of his mother, Donda West.
It is currently unknown if his relationship with Kim Kardashian and his family life will be shown in the motion picture.
The media outlet also reported that Netflix acquired the rights to the documentary for nearly $30 million, although Variety contested that amount.
The feature was helmed by producing duo Clarence Simmons and Chike Ozah, also known as Coodie and Chike, who previously worked with the rapper on the music videos for his tracks Jesus Walks (Version 3) and Through The Wire.
