Wondery presents Jacked: Rise of the New Jack Sound

The School of Greatness

Jacked - Hosted by Taraji P. Henson. 

Have you ever had a dream? Something you wanted so bad you just couldnโ€™t let it go? For a group of kids in Harlem in the Eighties, their dreams would change pop music forever. Teddy Riley, Timmy Gatling, and Aaron Hall form a group called Guy that would fuse hip-hop and R&B and launch a new sound. By the early Nineties, the New Jack Sound dominated the pop music charts: Bell Biv Devoe, Bobby Brown, Boyz II Men, and many more. But the rise of the New Jack sound would come at a cost, and not everyone would make it to the top. From Wondery and Universal Music Group, Jacked is a story of friendship, gangsters, double-crosses, and big dreams. Listen at wondery.fm/jacked_SOG.
