Reverend Run To Star In Reality Series
Run-DMC’s Reverend Run will open his home to MTV cameras for the new reality series “Run’s House.” The show will hit the airwaves at the end of the year and was brought to MTV by Sean “P. Diddy” Combs’ Bad Boy TV and Run’s brother, Def Jam co-founder Russell Simmons.
“Run’s House” will chronicle the artist in the midst of recording his debut solo album while attempting to raise his five children, who range in age from nine to 21. The show is also expected to feature appearances by Simmons, who lives down the street from Run in Saddle River, N.J.

“So, if [album guest star] Dennis Hopper were to walk on stage, you would know it’s him by his voice alone — as well as his silhouette,” he continues. “It will be like those old cutout silhouette portraits everyone used to get. Yes, it will all be done by silhouette.”
