In a fractured New York City, an elemental impact event has caused different versions of the city’s most infamous neighborhoods from across the multiverse to converge together into a single reality. Spectral apparitions now haunt the streets of Queens. In the Lower East Side, a rogue artificial intelligence has seized the streets. A hundred blocks north, time travelers are throwing a block party in Harlem. And that’s only the beginning…  Our guide through this splintered mutation of New York’s past, present, and future is none other than Ol’ Dirty Bastard himself. Follow him as he leads us through odd, urgent, and powerful tales that cast freedom and oppression, wealth and poverty, love and loss, and even life or death like so many dice in a cosmic game of chance.

Born Russell Jones in Fort Greene, Brooklyn and re-christened Ol’ Dirty Bastard as a founding member of the Wu-Tang Clan, ODB’s outrageous lyrics and captivating style stole the spotlight as Wu-Tang’s popularity exploded into the mainstream with their now-classic debut album, Enter the 36 Chambers. By the mid-1990s, ODB was enshrined as one of the biggest artists in hip-hop, releasing his Grammy Award-nominated solo debut, Return to the 36 Chambers: The Dirty Version, and releasing multiple chart-topping collaborations that included Mariah Carey’s “Fantasy” and Pras’ “Ghetto Superstar.” Just as ODB’s fame and notoriety continued to expand into a variety of pseudonymous identities – Dirt McGirt, Osiris, Big Baby Jesus, and more – Jones tragically passed away in 2004 at the age of 35, but, today, remains one of the most universally recognized and respected MCs of his generation. The first authorized documentary film chronicling ODB’s turbulent life and times – Ol’ Dirty Bastard: A Tale of Two Dirtys, produced by Four Screens – will debut in 2024 on A&E Network.
