Urban Legends, a division of UMe, Universal Music Group’s global catalog company, is celebrating 50 years of funk, soul, hip-hop, and R&B with a month-long celebration of that includes live DJ sets, new mini-documentaries, new episodes of the docu-series Through the Lens, and new releases of re-mixes of classic songs.

The events focus on four genre defining periods in music history over the past half a century, kicking off today, paying homage to “The Godfather of Soul” JAMES BROWN. Spotlighting one of the greatest artists of all-time, “The Godfather of Soul” James Brown, Urban Legends explores the music of James Brown, whose unique style laid down the foundation of Hip-Hop, demonstrating why he is one of the most sampled artists of all-time.

James Brown’s official YouTube Channel unveils the trailer for Funky Drummer, episode one of new three-episode animated mini-series titled Get Down, The Influence Of James Brown. Watch here:
