Kanye West fans, gather around, because Netflix is releasing a documentary about the enigmatic rapper called “Jeen-Yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy.” The three-installment project — which has been over 20 years in the making — is “an intimate and revealing portrait of Kanye’s experience,” according to the streaming giant. The archival documentary will focus on West’s life and career, from his early days trying to break into the music industry up until today, analyzing his reputation “as a global brand and artist.” It will also follow West’s journey from becoming a rap artist to a businessman, and touch on his failed 2020 presidential bid, as well as the death of his mother, Donda West.

Netflix shared the first-look trailer of the documentary on Sept. 25, which shows behind-the-scenes footage of a young West with rapper Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def) rapping lyrics from their early collaboration “Two Words” from West’s debut album, “The College Dropout.” Another teaser clip was released on Jan. 10, which revealed the origin story behind how West began calling himself a “genius” in 2002.
