50 Cent Developing ‘Unrapped’ Hip-Hop Competition Series on ABC

Wondering what 50 Cent has been up to? Curtis Jackson, aka hip-hop artist 50 Cent, has been working on a new music television series called Unrapped. The show will air on ABC and will be a competition series similar to American Idol but strictly for hip-hop.

Contestants will consist of celebrities competing against each other through rap battles. They also receive coaching from influential hip-hop mentors. Exactly who the judges and mentors will be is still unknown. However, we can expect to see some industry moguls with their competition Rhythm + Flow featuring judges Cardi B, Chance the Rapper, and T.I.

50 Cent shares his excitement for Unrapped

“I am excited to expand my relationship with ABC,” 50 Cent told Deadline. “Unrapped brings G-Unit Film and Television’s ability to put incredible music and musical talent on screen to the competition space.”

G-Unit Film & Television is in fact developing and producing Unrapped alongside SFO Entertainment. 50 Cent will also be executive producing it along with Jon Sheinberg, Antonio Collier, Gwen Osborne, Susie Ursitti Sheinberg, and Matt Feige.

50 Cent isn’t new to the television industry

This won’t be 50 Cent’s first time in the television industry. In 2020 he executive produced a drama series with ABC called For Life. The show lasted 2 seasons and then was cancelled. He also was involved with a reality television series in 2013 called Dream School. This series followed high school dropouts that were given a second chance, being taught by celebrities.

50 Cent has also worked on a number of other TV projects including Power on Starz and Black Mafia Family on Starz. He’s also working on other projects including Let Me Hear a Rhyme for Peacock and Confessions of a Crime Queen for Discovery+.
