For the inaugural episode, music producer Swizz Beatz sits down with Troy Carter, an entertainment manager who defines pop culture with entertainers like Lady Gaga and Eve formerly in his roster. The two music industry experts share their enthusiasm for collecting art. The conversation is filmed at UTA Artist Space, set against a backdrop of paintings, sculptures, and photographs created by some of the greatest artists of our time.
