Rolling Out reports that a new docuseries, aptly titled Ice Cold, will see the βType Shitβ trio explore the connection between hip-hop and jewelry, particularly as it relates to its rise as a status symbol and talk to the talented jewelers behind it all. The series will also take a look at βhip-hopβs ability to reimagine and transcend established notions of wealth, status, superiority and the sheer resilience of hip-hop culture.β In addition to Migos, other featured artists set to give us the rundown on their Rolexes (and other jewels, letβs be clear) include: DJ Mustard, A$AP Ferg, Fetty Wap, A-Boogie [Wit Da Hoodie], Lil Yatchy, City Girls, Slick Rick, Lil Baby and more. Celebrity jewelers include Ben Baller, Eliantte, Johnny Dang and Icebox.
The series will also see the βSlipperyβ artists sliding into the role of executive producers alongside director Karam Gill.
βWhatβs happening? This is The Migos and we are the executive producers on Ice Cold. Itβs a history on jewelry. Itβs a history on diamonds,β Quavo begins in the trailer intro. β[The] hard work, blood, sweat and tears it took to get it,β Offset interjects.
βWe all have our own ways of feeling and displaying success,β Gill explained in a press release per Deadline. βThis series explores that concept through the story of hip-hop jewelry. Itβs a deeper look at the construct of βThe American Dreamβ and how hip-hop has redefined it through jewelry and creative expression.β
Quavo added, βIn our community, we do it to make ourselves shine. Itβs a money symbol. β
Peep the trailer here and be sure to check out all four episodes of Ice Cold when it debuts exclusively on Migosβ YouTube channel July 8.
