BET and T.I.’s Grand Hustle Productions is collaborating on a new reality competition series called “THE GRAND HUSTLE.” The show will feature 16 business minded individuals all hustling for a spot to be the next executive added to the Grand Hustle empire. All vying for the position and its six-figure salary, “THE GRAND HUSTLE” competition series will premiere on Thursday, July 19th at 10:00PM EST.

“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) and Johnny Petillo (EP/Showrunner) and produced by 51 Minds Entertainment. (via Broadway World)
