Revolt, owned by Sean “Diddy” Combs, has recently announced the premiere of The Crew League, a first-of-its-kind, unscripted basketball competition series where celebrities and their “crews” will go head-to-head against each other in a competitive sports showcase for two things: bragging rights and a grand prize.
Kicking off on February 19th, Season 1 of The Crew League will feature the top names in Hip Hop such as Swae Lee, Jack Harlow, Russ, Lil Mosey, Lil Keed, G Herbo, The Kid LAROI and DDG, along with surprise special guests, as they compete in a friendly basketball tournament aiming to secure the grand prize of $100,000. Recognizing the importance of giving back during a crucial time, the winning team at the end of the 8-episode series will donate 50% of its prize to a nonprofit or social good initiative.
“The Crew League delivers REVOLT’s mission of creating meaningful content that shifts cultural norms and offers a fresh perspective – The Crew League is a dope way for artists to do something they love, while still giving back to causes that are important to them.” said Sean Combs, Chairman of REVOLT.
In addition to the traditional game play, The Crew League, produced by Psycho Films, will feature exclusive commentary from hosts, Buster Scher, comedy star, Druski, & music superstar 24kGoldn, locker room confessionals, halftime entertainment and post-game press conferences along with raw, unfiltered trash talk from the star-studded crews.
“We are thrilled and honored to be partnering with our mentor, Diddy, on The Crew League,” said Jordan A. Stern, Co-Founder of The Crew League. “Diddy helped pave the way for Elie and I to explore these types of entrepreneurial opportunities, and seeing things come full circle is a blessing. Working with partners who also understand the consumption trends of our culturally relevant Gen Z & Millennial fans will allow us to disrupt and revolutionize current content offerings.”
