"hoodFab," a new, interactive, hip-hop game show hosted by former radio personality Buttahman, will premiere on MTV Jams next week.
The show will follow Buttahman, who also serves as MTV Director of Music & Talent, throughout the streets of New York as he picks random contestants to question their knowledge of hip-hop and R&B. Contestants who are able to answer the trivia questions will win an array of prizes. There are special episodes that test the knowledge of rappers like Eve, Common and Snoop Dogg.
"Game shows have been a part of TV since the advent of the medium," Buttahman told SOHH. "To now have an interactive game show devoted to hip-hop culture shows how far rap music has advanced. People say they represent for hip-hop, but we put their actual knowledge to the test and we take it right to their hood."
During the airing of the show, viewers can text FAB to 22422 with their mobile phone or at hoodfab.mtv.com and answer five new trivia questions. Each correct answer counts as an individual entry into the prize pool.
A winner is picked randomly before the premiere of the next episode and sent a duplicate of the prize won by the weekly on-air contestant.
"hoodFab" airs on Monday (July 2) on MTV Jams.
