Tyga and C.J. Wallace have joined the cast as series regulars with the new season slated to premiere in March 2018 as a three-night event on MTV. The season, which will be moving production from New Orleans to Atlanta, features an entirely new cast, series location and premise that revolves around Deion Elliot, a local star running back whose tragic past comes back to haunt him at the worst time, threatening his hard-earned plans for his future - and the lives of his unlikely group of friends.
Tyga is set to play the role of Jamal, Deion's older step-brother. Though they share blood, their worldviews couldn't be more different. Jamal is a hustler by nature, willing to work any angle to make ends meet for those he considers family. But when Jamal's ambitions don't line up with Deion's, it forces them to decide exactly how they fit into each other's lives.
C.J. Wallace will take on the role of Amir, a good kid whose strict parents expect him to keep clean during high school, stay away from girls and ultimately find his place within
THE FAMILY business. But when events make him the unexpected target of a killer, Amir finds himself in over his head and his world view challenged.
