ATLANTA — Rapper ‘T.I.’ is no stranger to producing reality T.V. in the metro. The music mogul completed five seasons of “The Family Hustle” on VH1 in 2017.

Now he’s back with an “Apprentice” style competition show that gives up-and-coming moguls the opportunity to become his next business protege.

“The Grand Hustle Empire is always expanding so therefore we needed to add a very talented, highly skilled executive to our team,” said Harris. “It doesn't matter if you got your hustle at Harvard or the hood, 'The Grand Hustle' is about how you handle business and what you can do for the brand so I wanted to create a show that offers an equal playing field.”

The 12, one-hour episode series is set in Atlanta and the candidates are determined to prove they have what it takes to out-hustle the rest. They serve up big deals and even bigger doses of drama each week as they fight for their seat at the table. Ultimately, only one will be crowned the Grand Hustler.

“Tip is one of the smartest, most impressive businessmen I have ever met,” said EP Brian Sher. “His business acumen is second to none, and his entrepreneurial spirit is unmatched. I’m excited for the world to get a window into how Tip thinks and operates.”

Along with Tip and Sher, “The Grand Hustle” is executive produced by Christian Sarabia (EP), Johnny Petillo (EP/Showrunner), Vinnie Kaufman (EP/Showrunner) and produced by 51 Minds Entertainment.

The show airs July 19 on BET at 10p.m. and members of the Gathering Spot will get an exclusive screening of the first episode.
