We all know that Microsoft is working on lots of original content in Xbox Entertainment Studios for Xbox One users. Even though none of them got released to users, we saw various reports on them. Today, Deadline reported that Microsoft is working on a half-hour series based on the life of Illmatic album creator Nas. As Nas marks the 20th anniversary of his groundbreaking debut album Illmatic, a half-hour series project loosely based on his life as a hip hop artist in the 1990s is getting off the ground with a deal at Xbox Entertainment Studios. Titled Street Dreams, the project, from Jamie Patricof and Lynette Howell Electric City Entertainment (The Place Beyond The Pines), is set in the 1990s in Long Island’s Queensbridge housing complex, where Nas grew up, and takes a look at music,_ family and the trials and tribulations of the rap game. Street Dreams is being written/directed by Jonathan Levine, who also grew up in New York, spending his formative years in the 1990s. Source: Deadline
