The Chris Lighty Story (working title), Gimlet Media and the Loud Speakers Network (TBD April)
Chris Lighty was a high-flying music executive whose life seems to be inextricably woven into the recent history of hip-hop. Across his illustrious career, from his start at Def Jam Records to the label he would later co-found, Lighty worked with the likes of Nas, Missy Elliott, LL Cool J, and 50 Cent as one of the most powerful figures in the music business. But in 2012, Lighty mysteriously committed suicide after a heated argument in front of his apartment, inspiring a maelstrom of unanswered questions.
This upcoming podcast, which looks into the late music mogul’s life, will mark the first audio documentary effort by the Loud Speakers Network, a podcast network normally known for strong conversational shows like The Combat Jack Show and The Read. It will also mark the first time Gimlet Media, home of Reply All and Crimetown, is collaborating with another network on a show. The podcast, which has yet to be officially named or given a specific release date, will premiere sometime next month on Spotify, before being distributed everywhere else in June. It will be hosted by Combat Jack’s Reggie Osse. -- the untold want by life and land ne'er granted now voyager sail thou forth to seek and find
