In a statement Quavo said he has loved animation his whole life on television and movies. He acknowledged that the Migos music has an impact on children and wanted his first show to be for them.

It will definitely reflect the creativity, love and families in and around the NAWF side of Atlanta where we grew up.” Quavo said in a statement.

Quality Control Music CEO Pierre Thomas and COO Kevin Lee, Capitol Music Group SVP Brian Nolan, VP Ryan Allingham and Dan Altmann, along with Quavo will also be on the production team.

Kevin Lee stated that children seeing themselves in the faces and situations on the episodes is important and inspiring to him.

"When I was growing up there was very little media that had brown and black-skinned kids feeling heard or seen and the ones that did stand out and served as a crucial roadmap through our childhoods,” Lee said.

Lee said he is about inclusive stories that can address all kinds of situations that kids of all ethnic and financial backgrounds experience and to give them a common tool to learn and grow.

"These episodes will impact because they are educational and positive but with the dopest visuals and sounds our iconic rap culture can provide!” Lee added.

Quavo isn't just a rap artist but also an actor. He has made guest appearances in the show "Atlanta" on FX and "Star" on Fox.

Are you ready for a new animated series about hip hop in Atlanta? If not, you better get ready!

Justina Valentine

'Wild N' Out' Star Justina Valentine has landed her a seat on the celebrity game show 'Hip Hop Squares' and she gave the fans something to remember. Tuesday, on the premiere of the game show the red-head rapper and comedian was asked to freestyle on the spot and she gave him exactly that. She dropped a line about each celebrity that flowed so delicately in rhyming suit. She spit a dope freestyle hands down, even MC Lyte said it was HOT!

Freestyle rapping isn't the only thing Justina is good at. Looks like Queen Naija and Clarence underestimated her when they disagreed with the answere she gave, which were actually correct. She named Dijon as DJ Mustard's first name and she said Dubai was the place Cardi B shot her video for the hit "Bodak Yellow". You go miss Valentine. Don't let nobody steal your shine!

Check out Justina Valentine freestyling on 'Hip Hop Squares' by clicking on link below:

Joining Justina Valentine in the second part of 'Hip Hop Squares' include Erica Mena, Safaree, Dream Doll, Michael Blackson, Nene Leakes, Ray J, Lil Duval and Bresha Webb.

Overall, Queen Naija defeated Clarence White and it was also revealed that Ray J is a Katy Perry fan.

Until next time.........

'Love & Hip Hop Hollywood' Season 6 Recap: "Apryl Jones Returns, Jason Lee Exposes A1"

Photo by Google Images

It's already the first episode of 'Love and Hip Hop Hollywood' and things have hit the fan in the worse way for A1 and Lyrica. Princess shows Ray J what can happen if he decided to walk in A1's shoes. K. Michelle introduces her surrogate while Apryl and Fizz leaves everyone in suspense about what's really going on.

Let's just be real every since the last season of 'Love and Hip Hop Hollywood' A1 and Lyrica's marriage was on the rocks. Once the rumor about Lyrica and Safaree came out things haven't been the same. Even though they both denied doing anything and Safaree moved they are still suspect. A1 also has accused his wife of having an affair with boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. Some may feel he has no room to talk once Jason Lee revealed to the world that he was being flirtatious with Summer Bunni on Facetime. Lyrica found out before A1 told her because Jason Lee wanted to live up to his name, the messy gossip king. As a result Lyrica went to Atlanta with her mother for nearly two weeks. Upon her return A1 was no where to be found. While Lyrica wanted to address the problem at hand A1 decided to leave their marital issues behind to focus on his tour with T-Pain.

Apryl Jones who appeared on season one and two with her childrens' father singer Omarion has everyone wondering if she's having intimate sessions with Fizz. Neither Apryl nor Fizz who just so happens to be Moniece son's father has admitted to having a thing, but they haven't denied it either. Fizz and Apryl both claim to be just friends, for now! As the season goes on we will see just how close they really are.

Princess had a surprise for her husband Ray J that clearly he was not prepared for. She had him tied up and tied down in the dungeon. She was in control full throttle as Ray J begged for mercy. It was kind of funny to watch Ray J squirm and scream and be submissive. Princess said that was just a taste of what's going to happen if he did what A1 did to Lyrica. Well, Ray J you better be good unless you are going to find yourself latched down with no way out!

Finally, even though Moniece has quit 'Love and Hip Hop Hollywood' she made her appearance on the first episode doing what she does best. Moniece met up with Apryl to address Moniece defaming Apryl's character on social media. Moniece apologized but she also made it clear that no one is going to tell her about her child's father.

As far as K. Michelle who openly admitted to having 8 surgeries is ready to be a mother again. This time she is not having children of her own. She introduced her Surrogate on the premiere but we all know how K. Michelle can get. One minute she's good with you then the next you are gone. So we will this innocent lady the best dealing with the now country singer.

To be continued..........

'Black Ink Crew Chicago' Season 5 Finale Recap: "Charmaine Gets Engaged, Ryan Drops Another Bomb"

Photo by Google Images

The best thing about the finale of 'Black Ink Crew Chicago' was Neek proposing to Charmaine. Too bad they couldn't enjoy the moment long before Bella brought the Van and Charmaine rumor back to light. The sad thing is Ryan dropped a bomb that left Charmaine feeling clueless, Bella jobless and Van emotionless.

While enjoying the Safari Neek surprised Charmaine with a proposal with her close family and friends. Although Charmaine already knew what was going to happen she didn't expect to see her parents. On another note Bella just had to ruin the happy moment by bringing up the rumor about Van and Charmaine hooking up in Vegas.

Charmaine wanted to address the rumor but Van and the others felt she should have just let it go it it wasn't true. Seriously, anyone who is accused of doing something they did not do has a right to defend themselves. However, Van is the undercover man because didn't he also get accused of kissing Lily?

If you can remember during season 4 of 'Black Ink Crew Chicago' finale Ryan took over what the crew he left behind named Loyal Ink and renamed it 9Mag with Phor by his side. On mid-season finale which aired in May, Ryan totally blindsided the crew when he opened a new 9Mag and put Van in charge of the old 9Mag. Now here we are again on the finale of season 5 where Ryan has dropped another bomb but this time used Don to do his dirty work.

Ryan said he felt bad for Bella because she has a child but if that were true he would not have done that without giving her heads up. Charmaine has other income. Don and Phor still have a place at the new 9Mag but Bella is the one who is left out with no other options. Van wasn't at all shocked by Ryan's actions. He took it with a grain of salt and kept it moving.

Was Ryan right for letting the shop go so suddenly without a warning to the crew? True enough it's his shop but it's a way to do things. He could have done that in a better way rather than embarrassing them. It's a shame that noone speaks up for these ladies. Ryan brought Bella in just like he brought Lily in and let Charmaine come back. He needs to be held accountable for his actions. And let's not forget about he did Kat! Not good for a business man because just like he don't forget, the viewers and potential tattoo seekers don't either!

'Celebrity Big Brother 2' Review: "Is It Time For Tamar To Leave The Big Brother House?"

Tamar Braxton on Celebrity Big Brother 2

Last Friday on 'Celebrity Big Brother' Jonathan became the first celebrity houseguest to get evicted from the Big Brother house. Ryan was blindsided by the unexpected move and Tamar took it upon herself to investigate.

Someone flipped their vote and Tamar was determined to find out who it was. She alleged that it was Dina who switched her vote that sent Jonathan packing instead of Kandi Burress.

It's not a surprise that Tamar wanted yo see Kandi to leave over Jonathan. On the other hand, could it be Tamar that needs to vacate the premises?

Tamar Braxton & Kandi Burress

Tamar doesn't seem to be getting along with her housemates. So far she had verbal disputes with Lolo Jones twice to the point where things almost got physical. She also approached Kandi on an issue that occurred over a year ago. Tamar doesn't seem to be into this game for the money. She appears to be using the Big Brother house as a platform to express her frustrations and pain stemming from her personal life. Her head is not in the game. She is way to focused on other things like Lolo and Eva Marie's alliance and who's backstabbing who. 

On Sunday night's episode of 'Celebrity Big Brother' Kato won HOH and he put up Dina and Tamar for eviction. Who will win the veto? Although there may be a few out to get Dina out, If Tamar doesn't win the veto there's a chance she could be leaving the Big Brother house.

'Love And Hip Hop Review: "Don't Test Nya's Gangsta"

Photo by Google Images
Mariah Lynn & Nya Lee

Looks like MTV needs to reconnect with Dr. Drew for a spin-off of celebrity rehab, only this time it should be called 'Reality All-Stars Rehab!

In the beginning of this season of 'Love And Hip Hop' Nya Lee openly talked about how her previous behavior had interfered with her music career and that she had changed for the better. Later in the season Mariah Lynn also admitted that she had been working on herself so that she could get further in her career. Well, from the looks of things their music career might just be on hold a little bit longer.

Monday night on 'Love and Hip Hop' Jonathan invited the ladies including Nya Lee, Mariah Lynn, Cyn, Kimbella and Sydney Starr to a winery where Sydney tried to make amends with Nya. On the ride to the winery Nya told Jonathan he had a problem with Sydney testing her gangsta ism. Unfortunately, Sydney didn't take heed to Nya when she said she wasn't ready to discuss the matter at hand. She insisted on poking the bear who wasn't quite ready to come out and play Sydney told Nya she only bucked at her to warn her to shut up which only made matters worse for her. Hopefully she now knows that if you ain't knucking than don't be bucking!

Meanwhile after Kimbella and Jonathan shared a few words regarding Yandy Mariah involved herself i matter that was not her concern that provoked the bear to come out of hibernation.

Whatever was going on with Mariah had nothing to do with Nya or Jonathan. She took Jonathan's comments way out of context but what do you expect from someone who says 'a salt of grain' instead of 'a grain of salt'.

While Mariah was still selling wolf tickets Jonathan stood by Nya who wasn't too happy with the way she handled herself. However, when it's all said and done if Mariah and Sydney didn't learn anything else, the one thing they should have gotten out of this is, don't test Nya's gangster!
