According to Asghedom, the film is now taking shape as an eight-to nine-episode series directed by One9, and despite some reports saying the documentary will be streamed on Netflix, Sam made it clear it has no official home yet.
“We had a lot of deals on the table, but we walked away from those deals,” he said, explaining that companies were trying to control the narrative. “Once the project is finished and done right by our standards, we’ll release it — even if we give it away for free. It’s not about money.”
While the documentary looks ahead, it was the music that first introduced many to Hussle’s marathon mindset. Throughout his career, he consistently released a steady run of mixtapes that laid the groundwork for Victory Lap, his only official studio album, which earned a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Album.
It’s been eight years since fans received a full body of work from Hussle. During NBA All-Star Weekend, a new single, “Reckless,” was released, offering the first glimpse of Prolific, the forthcoming joint album with Bino Rideaux, set to arrive this summer.
