PHILADELPHIA — Hip-hop heads, rejoice — Yo! MTV Raps is making a comeback. And this time around, a famed Philly DJ is heading up hosting duties.
Slated for a spring premiere on streaming service Paramount+, the new edition of "Yo! MTV Raps" will be hosted by West Oak Lane's own DJ Diamond Kuts. Famed battle rapper Conceited, a Brooklyn native who gained fame as a recurring cast member on Nick Cannon's "Wild 'N Out," will co-host.
Kuts, real name Tina Dunham, is perhaps best known locally as the first female mixer to ever get a DJ slot on Power 99 — and as the official DJ for the Eagles. She's also credited with discovering Philly rapper Lil Uzi Vert, and has spun on massive tours for the likes of Nicki Minaj. So, yeah, her hip-hop resume goes pretty deep.
