MC Hammer is to star in a new reality TV show along with his wife, five children and two nephews.

The singer is famous for his 90’s rap tracks and baggy trousers but more recently has been investing a lot of time and money into a new dance website.

The 46-year-old said that Hammertime will reveal his lesser known side as a businessman as well his technical prowess.

“I’m a 2010 dad. I’m a real techy. I’m a geek on that side,” he said.

“This is a dad who is connected beyond any kid’s wildest dreams when it comes down to the places they’d like to navigate on the internet.”

MC Hammer said that his new TV programme will show “all the things that come along with family, with the caveat that their dad is a world-renowned recording artist”.

He added that the series would serve as a showcase for his family’s talents.

“It’s in their blood,” he said. “They all have theatrical, musical talents. They love the idea of being on television from the standpoint of acting and performing.”
