FOX has slotted a four-week test run of “TMZ HIP HOP,” a new syndicated series that puts the spotlight on the biggest icons from the genre and hip hop culture – their friendships, feuds, vacations, love lives, lifestyles and so much more. The show will debut Monday, April 11 on FOX stations in the 10 major markets – New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Dallas, Houston, D.C., Seattle, Phoenix and Minneapolis. Check local listings for time.

Hosted by a panel of hip hop and entertainment aficionados, including Amber Diamond, DJ Hed, Cynthia Luciette, Rodney Rikai and Tonio Skits, the group will sit down every weekday spilling the tea while providing their own takes on the hottest topics.

“‘TMZ HIP HOP’ is long overdue, 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,” said the show’s executive producer Charles Latibeaudiere in a statement. “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. And, I have to say … this group loves talking about it, they have a lot of fun.”

In addition to Latibeaudiere, Trent Clark and Jess Fusco serve as co-executive producers.
