You know him as by his hip-hop alter ego Ol’ Dirty Bastard, but a new music documentary will give you insights into the man born as Russell Tyrone Jones. Ol’ Dirty Bastard: A Tale of Two Dirtys—which premieres tonight, August 25, on A&E at 9pm Eastern Time—is the first authorized doc about the Grammy-nominated musician and legendary founding member of the iconic hip-hop group Wu-Tang Clan, who tragically died of an accidental drug overdose at age 35 in 2004.
"Born Russell Jones in 1968 in Brooklyn, NY, ODB developed a unique persona and rhyme style that set him apart from his contemporaries. In his short 35 years of life and long after his passing, ODB has had a significant influence on a whole generation of fans and performers," reads the film's synopsis, per A&E. "With exclusive rights to a never-before-seen personal archive shot by his wife, Icelene Jones, and access to his closest friends and family, this culture-defining special humanizes ODB as a man, a father, and a husband like never before."
