“OG Stories” Hosted By Music And Film Mogul Damon Dash
BET has greenlit OG STORIES, a bold new original conversation series hosted by record executive, film producer, director, and actor Damon Dash. Rooted in BET’s pillars of community, culture, and connection, the unfiltered docuseries gives voice to the OGs — the cultural architects, street legends, and self‑made bosses who built empires from nothing.
What ‘OG STORIES’ Is About
Through cinematic visuals and candid, character‑driven conversations, Dash sits down with people who have truly “walked the walk.” Together, they create a space where game is given, not sold.
From surviving the trenches to breaking generational curses, OG STORIES captures the mindset, defining moments, and blueprint of those who shaped culture and the communities connected to it.
Damon Dash’s Legacy and Vision
Damon Dash is a music and film mogul, best known as the co‑founder of Roc‑A‑Fella Records and a pioneer in hip‑hop entrepreneurship.
Over the years, he has helped shape the careers of cultural icons and built independent platforms across music, film, fashion, and media. Because of that track record, Dash continues to lead with vision, hustle, and fearlessness, always on his own terms.
“I want to thank BET, Louis Carr, and Brian Rikuda for believing in the vision and giving this show a home,” said Damon Dash.
“OG STORIES is really MY Paid in Full, a depiction of real life and real people I know. These are friends and peers who lived this, built something out of nothing, and earned the lessons that come with it. Ultimately, this series is about telling those stories the way they actually happened.”
A Raw Circle of Bosses
In OG STORIES, Damon Dash only builds with the circle he understands: people who know how to be bosses.
As a result, the series becomes a raw and real conversation space where cultural architects, hustlers‑turned‑entrepreneurs, and street legends drop timeless game.
