Shyheim, an affiliate of Wu-Tang Clan, will launch

an online reality series this week that will feature Hip-Hop luminaries like RZA,

Method Man, Redman, Easy Mo Bee and others.

On May 28, the reality show titled "Real

Talk," will allow to watch Shyheim behind the scenes, in clubs, the studio,

record company offices and his Staten Island home.

"I want to show everyone from New York to

Yugoslavia what it’s like for a Hip-Hop artist to be on the grind," Shyheim

said. "It ain’t gonna be like no Makin’ Da Band…it’ll be more real."

"Real Talk" will promote his upcoming

release The Greatest Story Never Told

and will web-cast three times a week every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Shyheim is also planning an autobiographical

film, also called The Greatest Story Never Told, and it will be lensed by D-Don,

who also directed 2002’s cult classic "Shottas."

Shyheim was 15 when the gritty single "On

and On" went as high as #7 in 1994. The film is an account of his rise

as a child rap star, his burgeoning acting career and the setbacks he experienced

along the way.

Recently, Shyheim was released from prison after

two and a half years for probation violation, gun charges and armed robbery.

"I got caught with a cop’s gun," he

told AllHipHop.com in a previous interview. "Then on top of that, I had

an armed robbery in the first degree. It started off on some beefing s**t. That’s

just the way the ‘hood goes. So, that’s what turned it into an armed robbery

with a deadly weapon. I owe [the State of New York] three years on parole. I

learned a lesson from that. That was Allah’s way of telling me, ‘Look, slow

down.’ "

The Greatest Story Never Told features production

from DJ Quik, RZA and Easy Mo Bee. The album drops July 13 on Shyheim’s label,

Bottom Up Records.

"It’s time that Shyheim show and prove he’s

the youngest veteran in the rap game," said Easy Mo Bee, who produced the

first single off the album, "21st Century Crisis." "He needs

to bring back Hip-Hop where it should be right now.”
