The trailer begins with the Chicago rapper saying that he has traveled to the country to learn Shaolin Kung Fu.
"One thing my father would always say is, 'Go to the homeland. Find somebody to teach you.' And now I actually have the opportunity to do what my father always wanted us to do," Lupe says in regards to his quest to China. Aside from learning Kung Fu, the trailer shows Lupe participating in other activities a part of Chinese culture.
"Before the music, it was all about the martial arts," Lupe said in a statement. "I trained in the martial arts with my father since I was about 3 years old and it's always been a passion of mine. Little hints of it pop up here and there in my music, but for the most part, my fans never really saw my martial arts side. They only know me for being a musician and a rapper. Hopefully this show will introduce people to that side of me."
The nine-episode docuseries, which is directed by Simon Yin and produced by Hong Kong's Studio SV, is currently available to watch on Lupe's website.
