“TMZ Hip-Hop is long overdue," said executive producer Charles Latibeaudiere. "And yet, right on time. We’re on the heels of what I’d argue is one of Hip-Hop’s biggest pop culture moments – Dr. Dre’s incredible Super Bowl halftime show – which reminded the world how much the genre is beloved.”

He added: “The fact is, it’s been that way for 30 almost 40 years..so it’s beyond time for a show all about the personalities who’ve made Hip-Hop a worldwide phenomenon. I have to say this group loves talking about. They have a lot of fun.

TMZ Hip-Hop is produced by TMZ Studios. Trent Clark and Jess Fusco serve as co-executive producers. Check out the trailer below.
