MTV is close to finishing a development deal to produce Rapping With the Stars, a new Hip-Hop themed competitive reality show.
According to Variety, the show focuses on teams who square off against each other in various rap-oriented challenges.

Rapping With the Stars is being overseen by Tony DisSanto, who has executive produced such MTV shows as The Andy Milonakis Show, episodes of Nick Cannon Presents: Short Circuitz, Run's House, The Shop and others.

A panel from the Hip-Hop world will serve as judges for the show, which has no air date as of press time.
