Ahead of the highly anticipated series premiere of ABC's primetime drama "Queens," "The Real Queens of Hip-Hop" chronicles the origins of hip-hop as it grew from urban culture in the '70s and '80s, and eventually exploded into the pop mainstream as a globally recognized musical genre and cultural phenomenon. It explores how the strides of each generation influenced the next and celebrates what the genre has become and the women who have ushered it forward and continue to push its boundaries.

"I grew up listening to and loving the pioneering work of female emcees and was amazed by how much I learned when previewing this special," said Marie Nelson, senior vice president of integrated content strategy, ABC News. "With projects like 'The Real Queens of Hip-Hop,' ABC News and ABC Entertainment are working to super-serve culturally diverse and multigenerational audiences with authentic and relevant storytelling that widens the lens and places their experiences at the center."

"The Real Queens of Hip-Hop" is produced by an all-female leadership team at ABC News. Fatima Curry is director, and Melia Patria and Curry are co-executive producers.

ABC programming can also be viewed on demand and on Hulu.
