LL COOL J & Ice T Hunt For Hip-Hop Memorabilia In New Series 'Hip-Hop Treasures'

A&E's Hip Hop Treasures follows the search for lost Hip-Hop memorabilia. Led by LL COOL J and Ice T — alongside field collectors and museum curators — the team tells the story of some of Hip-Hop’s greatest artists and the items they made famous.

"I want the world to know how important Hip-Hop i,s" LL COOL J said in a clip from the shows trailer. "These kings and queens of culture deserve to be celebrated and elevated," he said further.

Items such as The Notorious B.I.G.’s iconic jersey from the “Juicy” video, Flavor Flav’s clocks, DMX’s Aaliyah car, and more are featured in the trailer.

This exclusive partnership between A&E, Pulse Films, LL COOL J’s Rock The Bells and The Universal Hip Hop Museum honors these music legends and brings their items back to the birthplace of the culture, The Bronx.

"The art of Hip-Hop hasn't really been celebrated yet" says Paradise Gray, curator at the Universal Hip-Hop Museum and member of The X-Clan. This year marks Hip-Hop's 50th anniversary which is celebrated on August 11, and the series debuts the following day on August 12 at 10 p.m. EST on A&E.

Check out the trailer for the series above.
