Kanye West Netflix jeen-yuhs documentary

Kanye West often seems bigger than life. But a new trailer for his upcoming documentary series, jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogyhints at a deeper look into his career, as we see the Chicago-born rapper hanging out with others and recording alone in the studio.

The series, directed and produced by Clarence ‘Coodie’ Simmons and Chike Ozah, will be featured as a “three-week global event” on Netflix starting February 16. In the trailer, there is a scene. Taking a grainy shot of the rapper performing in front of a stadium giant, one narrator says: “It feels like the older Kanye gets, the further apart we get. But there are more Kanye stories that I need to tell. According to a statement, the series will “show both his founding days trying to break through and his life today as an artist and global brand”.
