The drama heats up and relationships are challenged as the next generation of hip hop royalty sets out to do whatever it takes to rise above their legendary parent’s shadow. Watch as they reach new heights to build their empires, but not all thrones are protected when everything comes crashing down around them when the fourth season of "Growing Up Hip Hop" premieres Thursday, May 24th at 9|8c.

This Season, Angela Simmons (Rev Run’s daughter) opens up for the first time about a devastating breakup and facing public scrutiny. Vanessa Simmons yearns to be closer to her sister, Angela, but new business opportunities lead to a dramatic sibling rivalry. Romeo Miller (Master P’s son) finds himself chasing after the ‘one that got away’ and running to New Orleans with his pops to save an incarcerated family member who goes on a hunger strike!

Meanwhile, Damon “Boogie” Dash’s (Damon Dash’s son) addiction spirals out of control when his little sister’s life becomes endangered. Briana Latrise (Mary J. Blige’s stepdaughter) teams up with Dame to save Boogie’s life and plot a surprise intervention. With her checkered family history, Kristinia DeBarge (James DeBarge’s daughter) musters the courage to meet with her long-lost cousin, Kyndall Ferguson (El DeBarge’s daughter), while she plans a life-changing move to Vegas to further her music career.

Tyran Moore (Sandra “Pepa” Denton’s son) comes to visit his mother to mend broken ties, and unleashes years of pent-up resentment growing up under her fame in family therapy. Egypt Criss (Pepa Denton’s daughter) has a new beau, but not everyone trusts his intentions with the princess of hip hop, including Egypt’s cousin, Tahira “Tee Tee” Francis.

And, prepare yourself, a shotgun wedding in Vegas shocks all!

Watch a sneak peek!

The can't-miss season of "Growing Up Hip Hop" returns Thursday, May 24th at 9|8c. Tune in to the unforgettable season to see it all go down!
