Rap music has long dominated the Pop cultural landscape – birthing some of the biggest stars and biggest movements in history.

Parallel to its popularity, however, there has been an increasing legal spotlight on its lyrics.

Indeed, high-profile court cases have seen musical bars lead to artists being put behind bars. A reality that has ignited ample debate around how just such a practice is.

Paramount+ shines a light on the discourse in the powerful new documentary ‘As We Speak: Rap Music on Trial.’

Helmed by J.M. Harper, the powerful special follows Bronx Rap artist Kemba as he delves deep into the growing weaponization of Rap lyrics in the US criminal justice system and beyond.
