Meet MTV's newest comedic ensemble as the channel premieres "Buzzin'," a new reality series starring music artist Shwayze, his best pal and producer Cisco Adler, their partner in crime, tour manager Warren Gumpel and their manager head of Suretone Records, Jordan Schur.
Beginning Wednesday, July 23, 2008 at 10:30PM ET/PT, fans can catch the misadventures of Shwayze, his wingman and music partner Cisco, best buddy Warren and manager Jordan as they define a whole new California sound. And rounding out the Wednesday night line-up, "Run's House" returns with new episodes premiering July 16 at 10pm ET/PT.
Showcasing the long road from the trailer park to the top of the charts, "Buzzin'" follows the unlikely pair - Shwayze, the self-described "only black kid in Malibu" and Cisco, the seasoned singer/producer and regular tabloid bad boy - and their crew as their path to stardom hits all the twists, turns and bumps along the way.
The music and madness get underway as the boys and their fresh Cali sound get ready to debut their self-titled album on August 19, 2008 and as their first single, "Buzzin'" continues to climb the charts. Trying to keep them on track is their tough manager and label honcho, Jordan Schur who has taken artists like Ashlee Simpson and Limp Bizkit all the way to the top. Also along for the ride is their resident right-hand man, tour manager and comrade, Warren. When they guys are in a jam, count on him to be the man with the plan - even if the plan causes more problems than it solves.
