Interscope Presents: The Next will also tell the untold hip-hop history of major cities as revealed by local legends and famed rappers, including 50 Cent, Joe Budden, Wyclef, Clipse, Big Tigger, Nate Dogg, Bonecrusher, Gang Starr and Loon.
Here's the breakdown ya'll:

handpicked from hundreds of people hoping to get a chance to showcase their skills in their respective city -- Atlanta, Los Angeles, Detroit, Philadelphia and New York. Each episode will culminate in a rap battle in front of peers, with special guest DJs and MCs officiating.
The local winner will then be determined by the audience. The five winners will then gather for a final one-hour national showdown episode in Los Angeles.
