For almost two decades, Kanye West has dominated the pop-cultural landscape – with his music, his vision, and unwavering commitment to marching to the beat of his own drum.

Much has been said, written, and articulated about the polarizing Hip-Hop force but now he has teamed up with Netflix for a raw and unfiltered documentary special – ‘jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy.’
