Five young rappers compete for a record contract on Lifetime’s new reality show, The Rap Game. Produced by rapper Queen Latifah and Jermaine Dupri, the five kids (aged 12-17) undergo an eight-week boot camp in Atlanta with Dupri. Dupri has experience promoting young acts — he launched the wildly successful teen duo Kris Kross in the early 1990s and Lil Bow Bow. One of the five kids will get a contract with Dupri’s label So So Def.
