WE tv president Marc Juris said:

Hip-hop is a hugely popular music genre, but beyond the songs it has become a lifestyle and has influenced a generation of young people. Growing Up Hip Hop profiles what it’s like to be raised by hip-hop legends, living in their shadow while trying to balance success and independence. This series will be right at home in our growing lineup focused on the authenticity and the challenges of real people and real relationships, and we can’t wait to share these distinctive original stories with WE tv viewers.

The show is set to air at the end of 2015. [The Hollywood Reporter]
