It's the unlikely partnership that will likely go down as one of the greatest pairings in music history.

Check out the full-length trailer for "The Defiant Ones," a four-part HBO documentary series that chronicles the careers of L.A. rap legend Dr. Dre and record mogul Jimmy Iovine.

The docuseries, which is directed by Allen Hughes (co-director of "Menace II Society"), will also explore the history of Dre and Iovine's business partnership that resulted in the 1990s success of Interscope Records, the discovery of multi-platinum and Grammy-winning rapper Eminem, and, more recently, the astonishing success of their enormously popular headphone label, Beats Electronics.

Featuring interviews with many of Dre and Iovine's associates and supporters, including Bono, Snoop Dogg, Stevie Nicks, Gwen Stefani, Bruce Springsteen, Trent Reznor and more, "The Defiant Ones" is set to premiere on Sunday, July 9th on HBO.
