HOUSTON, October 18, 2018 - Last night, BET Networks brought a Brooklyn experience to La Grange in Houston to celebrate the recent premiere of their new reality series, “HUSTLE IN BROOKLYN.” The theme of the event was truly felt by guests as BET activated the space to include scenes reminiscent of the Brooklyn neighborhood including a photo booth with a Brooklyn Bridge backdrop, a bodega with Hustle In Brooklyn magazines of each cast member, street lights and signs, newspaper stands and even distributing New York City metro cards with the Hustle In Brooklyn logo.

Cast members Ivy Rivera, Ron “Baggy Large” Walker and Jesse Brown spoke to the Houston crowd about their excitement for the show, their personal hustles and what makes Brooklyn such a remarkable place. Jesse, who is a Houston native, shared some of his journey from being homeless in Houston to migrating to Brooklyn.

Attendees experienced a memorable night complete with Brooklyn décor, specialty Nutcracker cocktails, Caribbean inspired bites including jerk chicken wings & plantain chips, and music provided by DJ Orange Calderon. Eva Evans, the show’s aspiring comedienne, also entertained the crowd with a hilarious comedy set.

Created and produced by Entertainment One and Creature Films, “HUSTLE IN BROOKLYN” follows a group of young and driven millennials, and tracks how their lives intersect in the pursuit of personal and professional success. This 9-episode one-hour reality series is a coming of age aspirational story set in one of NYC’s most iconic boroughs.

“Hustle In Brooklyn” premiered Tuesday 10/16 on BET, immediately following the 2018 Hip Hop Awards, and will air every Tuesday night at 10pm et/9pm ct.
