SYNOPSIS:

City-living is like no other experience; Especially in the 1980s. The people, the constant buzzing of the environment, the pockets of crime. Cities across America have produced big dreams while also holding big traumas. Yonkers, NY is no different. From the low-income housing projects to the glare of its Downtown Square and hills neighborhoods, the city vibrates with the pulse of its residents.

…And Then There Was X is a biographical musical drama crime series that will embody heart, triumph and realism mixed in with moxie and hair-raising music. It will promote acquiring spirituality and faith through hardship, while also expressing the freedom to find yourself in an environment that strives to mold you into what it needs to continue its own selfish functions. Earl Simmons has grown to often give thanks for “the blessings and the curses” - both being what shapes him into what the Hip-Hop world grew to love - The Dog.
