According to Vulture, the focus of the series would be based on the experiences of a former LAPD Detective who led many task forces investigating the murders of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls. The former LAPD Detective also wrote the book "Murder Rap: The Untold Story of Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur Murder Investigations" which sources say will be like the guide-book for the TV series.
