According to Deadline, the show, titled Street Dreams, will look at "music, family, and the trials of the rap game," based on Nas' experience growing up in the notorious Queensbridge house projects in New York.

The show will be written and directed by Jonathan Levine, best known for the 2008 comedy The Wackness, which won the Audience Award at that year's Sundance film festival. Nas will have his hand in writing as well as music for the series.
