The specials hail from Jay Z’s Life + Times, an online hub that’s curated by Jay Z and operated by Roc Nation and Iconic Entertainment. The online destination “features in-depth music, sports and lifestyle pieces on an array of subjects,” Fusion said.

Fusion will begin by airing episodes from Jay Z’s Life + Times’ “Where I’m From” documentary series, with plans to present other programming from Jay Z’s Life + Times in the future. The “Where I’m From” series offers behind-the-scenes looks at athletes and entertainers, from Jay Z to football player Hakeem Nicks to baseball player Robinson Cano. The Nicks installment will be the premiere episode on Fusion, with the premiere to be announced at a later date.
