Titled “The Great Phatsby,”it is the first-ever hour long version of the show and it includes 17 songs (check out the theme song below) as arranged by producer singer, songwriter and producer Jim Beanz, who is a longtime fan of the show.
“I wanted to remain true to the feeling I got as a kid,” said Beanz in an interview with Billboard. “I wanted it to have nostalgia, but more than anything, I wanted to give it a different spin that would work in hip-hop today. Therefore, it has trap elements, 808s, cool cadences, and switch-ups to give it a little bit of a newer sound.”
