Love & Hip-Hop Premiers Tonight on VH1 @10:30

'Love and Hip Hop' cast (left to right): Olivia Longott, Chrissy Lampkin, Somaya 'Boss' Reece, Emily Bustamante, Mashonda Tifrere.
 Let's Meet The Ladies:
Olivia, who dates the Jets Darrelle Revis, is scrambling to revitalize a hip-hop career that seems to have lost traction.
Chrissy, after six years with hip-hop star Jim Jones, mentions a little too often that she isn't sure their status quo will keep her happy forever. Six years, she says, with no kids, no ring, nothing that gives her any kind of grip on tomorrow. She isn't just an ornament, she tells us. She's a designer and stylist. She's important in Jones' life. But without some official recognition of that status, she's just one hot new girl away from being yesterday's news.

Latina rapper Somaya (Boss) Reece comes in from the West Coast and takes a meeting with Jones, Chrissy instantly feels the need to chop Somaya off at the knees. It makes for good TV drama. It doesn't look like a very secure way to live. When Chrissy and Somaya cross paths at a party, they quickly trade daggers. Somaya later reflects on the exchange by saying, in a mocking tone, "So what do you do? What's your title? 'Girlfriend'?"
 Things aren't much better for New York-born Emily Bustamante, who for the last decade has been the stylist and low-profile girlfriend of rapper Fabolous.They have two children, but she and they don't appear with him in public. No parties, no red carpets. Wouldn't be good for Fabolous' image. Emily has her own career as a stylist. But what she really wants is respect and acknowledgement from Fabolous.


And, we all know Mashonda Tifrere, known professionally as Mashonda, is an R & B singer. She dated, & married Swizz Beats, and after 4 years of marriage,the couple divorced on May 7,2010. Swizz Beats then admitted he was having an affair with Alicia Keys. Mashonda is now focusing on writing and producing film. She still follows her passion for music as she writes songs for many different recording artists. Mentoring has become a love of hers as she speaks openly to women all over the nation about self empowerment and positivity. Mashonda admits that her number one priority is her 3 year old son Kasseem Jr. Mashonda Tifrere's story is a classic. A young girl growing up in the urban city of New York, chasing her dreams and her love and ultimately finding her reality. The pain that came from her very public divorce from her super producer, ex-husband Swizz Beatz, has given Mashonda the wisdom and strength to school each of us a little bit on life. Moving forward she believes that her life has just begun.
