Kanye West has been tapped to executive produce the music for a new TV series.
The show, Underground, centers around a group of slaves who plan to escape their Georgia plantation. Along the way, they are assisted by an abolitionist couple who run a station on the Underground Railroad.
The series stars Jurnee Smollett-Bell (Temptation, The Great Debators), Christopher Meloni (Law & Order: SVU), and Aldis Hodge (Straight Outta Compton, Leverage).
Details concerning West’s duties are limited, but the “New Black Slaves” rapper most likely will be scoring episodes for the series.

It’s unclear whether the show will feature original music curated by West or intertwine hits from his catalog and songs he has produced in the past.
