Season 1
From Sean Combs and Russell Simmons comes the MTV reality sensation, Run's House. Starring Rev Run and his family, Run's House brings Hip-Hop Reality Family Values to the airwaves.
Run's House focuses on Run (aka Joey Simmons of Run DMC) as he raises his family of five children, ages 8 to 21, with his loving wife, Justine.
Viewers get a riveting view as this hands-on, hip-hop dad negotiates everyday parenting challenges from the birds and the bees to his daughter's graduation.
"My family is my ministry," he said in a statement. "I'm gonna raise it up with or without cameras."
But his family is not the only thing the Reverend aims to raise up. He hopes that the show might offer something surprising to its audience.
"I'm not trying to fight stereotypes," he explains. "I'm just trying to give another perspective and show what rap is all about, especially for someone who knows only the negative things. Me and my family are rap all grown up."
