Hip-Hop sensation and music mogul 50 Cent teams up with MTV to bring you the newest elimination reality show. The contestants, hand picked by 50 himself, have proven themselves to be savvy, street-smart and successful in their own right. But now it's time to prove themselves to 50 and see who has the power to earn the money, $100,000 of 50 Cent's own money. Each week, 50 Cent will share his own personal story on his success-- 50's "Laws of Power." The candidates will take the knowledge and apply it in various street smart, hustler driven challenges that will test their entrepreneurial skills and thirst for power. This is a game based on street smarts and you must strive to gain the trust of 50 in order to make it to the top. The candidates will be pushed to their limits, and must remain strong and fearless. The search will be narrowed down each week by 50 and his crew, with the finalist winning $100,000 of 50's money.
