This summer, Deb Antney embarks on an ambitious quest to find the world’s next female rap icon in "Deb’s House." The new series, unveiled by AMC Networks during the Television Critics Association panel, will take viewers behind the scenes of the music industry, exclusively on ALLBLK, AMC’s streaming service dedicated to Black entertainment.
The upcoming series will introduce viewers to eight female artists on the brink of fame, chosen to live under one roof in a high-stakes competition for the title of Antney’s “rap protégé.”
Beyond showcasing their lyrical prowess, these artists must demonstrate unparalleled dedication and the capacity to make significant sacrifices, all while navigating the challenges and dynamics of communal living on their quest for hip-hop stardom.
“I envisioned a competition show that deviates from the norm—one centered around personal growth and self-competition,”
“Collaborating with (co-creator and co-EP) Rasheed to bring this vision to life has been an incredible journey. Witnessing the music industry veer away from artist development towards a focus on superficiality and explicit content prompted my desire to return to the core values of true lyricism and mentorship. The search for the next female rap sensation in Deb’s House is my way of reigniting that passion. The selection of our show as ALLBLK’s first commissioned competition reality series is truly thrilling. My sincere appreciation goes to my AMC Networks family, particularly Brett Dismuke, for their steadfast belief in this transformative project.” Antney said via a statement.
“Deb Antney is no stranger to the AMC Networks family, appearing on popular WE tv series Growing Up Hip Hop Atlanta, Waka & Tammy and Executive Producing the upcoming scripted series Bev Is Boss. Ms. Deb is a pioneer and influential voice across the music industry who has discovered, established, and guided the careers of some of hip-hop’s most prolific and successful artists. We cannot wait for our ALLBLK audience to join the search and ultimately see who Ms. Deb crowns as the next iconic female MC.” said Brett Dismuke, (Head of Content, ALLBLK & WEtv)
Antney is famous for helping start the careers of big music stars like Gucci Mane, French Montana, and Nicki Minaj.
She's also Waka Flocka Flame's mom and is known for being really straightforward in her work.
Deb's House is a collaborative creation, produced by Antney and Rasheed J. Daniel. Vanessa Phillips, and Tina Brinkley Potts, contribute as co-executive producers from TeamSheed and TAG Multimedia.
