The series will follow a young rapper and DJ as they come up through the city&#8217;s late 1980s and early 1990s hip-hop scene, pursue a record deal and navigate how fame affects their friendships and relationships with their hometown.<\/p>\n<p>Will and Jeff first met at a house party in West Philadelphia in 1985. The two quickly began making music together and eventually formed DJ Jazzy Jeff &amp; The Fresh Prince. Their 1988 album <em>He&#8217;s the DJ, I&#8217;m the Rapper<\/em> became a major commercial success, helping establish the duo as one of hip-hop&#8217;s earliest mainstream breakouts. And of course, Will would later become one of Hollywood&#8217;s biggest stars.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<em>215<\/em> is especially meaningful to us because it draws from the rise of DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince and celebrates Philadelphia during such a defining era in the city&#8217;s late-&#8217;80s\/early-&#8217;90s hip-hop scene,\u201d Terence Carter, president of television at Westbrook Studios, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The series is still in development and does not yet have a network or streaming home, cast or release date. Westbrook Studios is developing the project in partnership with Canadian production company The Malar Group, which plans to produce several projects with the studio.<\/p>\n<p><h2
