i think a lot of people think of bob marley, perhaps they are not as familiar with the story of rita marleyou read this, what did you know about rita's story and what drew you to this? >> well, my parents are jamaican. they are born in jamaica so i had a responsibility to take the role and make sure it was everything that it needed to be, represent rita marley in the way that she deserved to, and also uphold the legend's story, the legend that we know today did not come from nowhere. she literally is the backbone. she held everything together. she ensured that her children, the geniuses says that they are today, and i wanted to make sure that the remarkable woman remained the remarkable woman in the story and that the female narrative was told in the way that we know it should be and especially as a woman, as a black woman, and i am proud of it. i am proud of kingsley. he is a brilliant bob.

and can i just say lashana as rita marley, it's giving oscar nomination. the biopic one love is in theaters february 14. and for some incredible true tales from the world of hip hop, there's a new peacock series, kings from queens, the run-d.m.c story, and so much great music, like 1986's it it's tricky from the influential trio of rev run, darryl d.m.c. mcdaniels, and jam master jay. and surviving members rev and darryl celebrated at the big new york premiere. it's so exciting. we've been working on it for so long. and coming right after the 50th year of hip hop, it kind of all fell in place. i think it was like serendipity.
