If you’ve ever wondered what real success looks like behind the scenes, Damon Dash is about to pull up a chair and let you hear it straight from the source.
BET has officially greenlit “OG Stories,” a bold new original conversation series hosted by the legendary music and film mogul, and it’s shaping up to be one of the most authentic looks at culture, hustle, and legacy we’ve seen in a long time.
Set to premiere in Spring 2026, the series promises raw, unfiltered conversations with the people who didn’t just witness culture being built. They helped create it.
What “OG Stories” Is All About
At its core, “OG Stories” is about passing down real game.
Hosted by Damon Dash, the series centers on candid, character-driven conversations with cultural architects, street legends, and self-made entrepreneurs who built something meaningful from the ground up.
Instead of polished talking points or industry fluff, viewers can expect honest storytelling about the highs, the mistakes, the lessons, and the mindset it takes to build an empire.
According to Damon Dash, this project is deeply personal.
“I want to thank BET, Louis Carr and Brian Rikuda for believing in the vision and giving this show a home,” Damon Dash said. “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. This series is about telling those stories the way they actually happened.”
Damon Dash’s Vision For The Series
For those who have followed Damon Dash’s career, this project feels like a natural extension of his journey.
Best known as the co-founder of Roc-A-Fella Records, Damon Dash has spent decades shaping culture through music, film, fashion, and independent media.
His influence helped launch the careers of some of the biggest names in hip-hop while redefining what entrepreneurship could look like in the entertainment space.
With “OG Stories,” he’s bringing together people from his own circle.
People who truly understand the grind, the risk, and the responsibility that comes with building something lasting.
And that’s exactly what makes this series feel different.
These aren’t strangers exchanging surface-level stories.
These are peers reflecting on real-life experiences that shaped both their lives and the culture around them.
Behind The Scenes Of Damon Dash’s “OG Stories”
“OG Stories” is created and directed by Damon Dash.
The series is executive produced by The Dash Group LLC and Jason Harvey, with Nicolette Durham serving as associate producer. Josh Pyzynski handles cinematography as director of photography.
Music supervision is led by Damon Dash and Nicolette Durham, while Eric Hoegemeyer oversees audio post-production engineering.

With a team like this behind the camera, the series aims to blend cinematic visuals with powerful storytelling.
Spring 2026 Can’t Come Soon Enough
I’ll be honest, Frens. I’m curious to see how these conversations unfold because storytelling like this rarely happens in such an unfiltered way.
If “OG Stories” delivers on its promise, it could easily become one of BET’s most compelling culture-driven series.
