Make way for the female MCs because this summer Oxygen is bringing you a treat. The network excitedly aired the preview to its new show Sisterhood of Hip Hop on July 22.  With the show being executive produced by the "King of the South," T.I., the Sisterhood of Hip Hop series is already stamped for success. The struggle to pull-through to a mainstream artist in the Hip Hop genre today is extensive especially as a woman. Being that female Hip Hop artists have been known to give in to preconceived notions that sex sells easier than their underdog story, these five women look to do away with bs of the ideal industry look to become a game-changer by doing it their own way.
Oxygen passionately describes the mission of Sisterhood of Hip Hop on their website:

With Grammy-Award winning recording artist T.I. as Executive Producer, this powerful and uplifting series follows the next generation of female hip-hop artists Siya, Nyemiah Supreme, Diamond, Brianna Perry and Bia as they live, love and work towards their dream of becoming the next big breakout star, which has always been a man’s game and these ladies are rewriting the rules of the music scene. Discovered and mentored by hip-hop icons, these creative and ambitious women are making it while breaking boundaries and defying doubters. While they realize that their lives are a work in progress, they are at a crossroads, and are finding their unique voices. Can they support and collaborate with one another in order to make their dreams a reality?

After watching the preview episode, I personally believe it'll be a unique change to primetime cable television. The passion and dedication that these five women acquire is phenomenal but their quests to morally reach the status of fame the right way is even more intriguing. Of course the show does have a bit of theatrics in it as the women fiercely compete with each other to limit their competition, but it wouldn't be reality television without a little drama right? The show is set to premiere on August 12 at 9/8c on Oxygen. Will you be supporting these female MCs on their quest to mainstream?
