The Grand Hustle

Mogul T.I. gathers 16 hustlers from around the country to compete for a spot in his Grand Hustle Empire; first impressions are key as T.I. challenges the contestants to make something out of nothing.

T.I. needs a hustler who can help sell his empire, which includes his clothing label, AKOO; he divides the remaining 14 hustlers into two teams to battle it out to sell the most merchandise in competing pop-ups.

T.I. tasks two teams with throwing separate launch parties for his Grand Hustle artists, putting the 13 remaining hustlers to the test; when utter failure occurs, two hustlers pay the highest price.

A shocking 911 call sidelines a hustler, while the remaining 10 are tasked to raise awareness for the Us or Else initiative; rapper David Banner inspires the teams to put arguing aside and make a difference.
