A&E’s new show Hammertime premieres this Sunday, June 14, 2009 at 10:00pm ET/PT (9:00pm CT). The show revolves around iconic rapper and dancer MC Hammer, his wife of more than 23 years and their family of six: A’Keiba, 21; Jamaris, 18; Sarah, 15; Stanley Jr., 13; Jeremiah, 10; Samuel, 4.
The ten-episode series takes a peek inside the life of Stanley Burrell who rapped and danced his way into the hearts of America in the 1990s as MC Hammer. Known for his thrilling stage shows, powerful dance moves, catchy pop hits and his community commitment, Hammer sold more than 50 million albums worldwide and is a three-time Grammy award winner, but he faced some very public financial woes and now lives a more economically balanced life in Oakland, California with his family .A new-age dad, Hammer contributes equally to the child rearing responsibilities and daily household chores while performing at concerts, juggling speaking engagements, and balancing his social media empire – including his online dance community DanceJam.com, the Hammertime iPhone application and his social media optimized label “FullBlast.”
Here at EveryJoe, we are celebrating Hammertime with a fabulous giveaway.
