The series will feature trivia questions as well that will give viewers a unique and immersive look into the history of this beloved music genre.

Speaking about his new series, DuBose said, “I’m thrilled to be partnering with kweliTV to bring the story of R&B music to life on the small screen. The Four Seasons of R&B is my life’s work and the culmination of years of research and passion for R&B music. I can’t wait for viewers to join me on this journey and explore the history of R&B in a way that’s never been done before”

kweliTV CEO and founder DeShuna Spencer expressed her excitement about the new series. “Black music, particularly R&B, has been the soundtrack in the most pivotal moments in our lives. We’re excited to be working with the esteemed Tyrone DuBose in bringing this exciting, new music series to life to allow viewers to rekindle nostalgia from their favorite musical era.”

While DuBose is the Executive Producer, Michael Blaylock is the Co-Executive Producer of 16th and Broadway productions, as well as Ant Green, of 12th Seed Productions. The book, “The Four Seasons of R&B” recently reached the top five on the Amazon chart for the fifth time in two years.
