About the Show
Tupac and Dr. Dre s California Love served as a love letter and anthem for a generation. The song inspired author and New York Times writer, Walter Thompson-Hernández, to create a show as prescient as it is personal.

Walter takes us deep into his own story as he explores what it means for him to love Los Angeles.
