Family Legacy will feature exclusive footage from concerts and interviews with the children of the musical legends. Ahead of the show’s premiere, Sy’rai Smith, Brandy’s only child, spoke to Vibe and stated that since the "Vocal Bible" was such a legend since she feels a lot of pressure that an upcoming artist who isn’t associated with someone doesn’t experience. She added:

"God blessed me with a platform where people can be like, ‘Okay, her daughter came out with music, I want to go see what that’s about."

Smith continued that there’s another side of it which is that she doesn’t sound as good as her mother or that her music is not as good compared to Brandy’s. The upcoming Family Legacy cast member stated that the pressure scares her, and she wants people to understand “that there is a difference.” She continued:

"I am me, and my mom is my mom. I love when people compare me to her because I mean, who wouldn’t want to be compared to my mom?"
