Welcome to Pompano Beach, where the vibrant energy of urban culture collides with the raw realities of South Florida life. Knights of Broward County, the latest unscripted reality series set to premiere this spring on TyJo Network, offers a bold and unfiltered look at what happens when identity, ambition, and cultural collision take center stage.
Imagine the chaos of Jersey Shore meets the grind of Love & Hip Hop—but with a cast that’s forcing uncomfortable questions about code-switching, survival, and who gets to “act hood” on reality TV.
Set in a gritty pocket of Broward County, the show follows eight white and hispanic cast members raised on the pulse of hip-hop and street culture, bonded by poverty, struggle, and an audacious dream: launching a record label and rewriting their futures; determined to escape the cycle of poverty and prove themselves in the music industry.
MEET THE “KNIGHTS OF BROWARD COUNTY” Knights of Broward County introduces viewers to eight cast members whose lives, ambition, and identities challenge the limits of cultural belonging:
  • Lee Lee – The brains of the operation and crew’s unofficial CEO. Business-savvy with deep connections, Lee Lee’s hustle keeps the dream alive.
  • Yoey Tatted – A fiery rapper and night-shift stripper with raw talent and zero filter. Her hustle is unmatched.
  • BMILZ – A barber, beat engineer, and rapper. He’s the plug for everything from music to survival skills.
  • Jay Jay Kinsey – A bi-racial young mom juggling a corporate job and a passion for music. She’s proof you can be bossed up and balanced.
  • Tbo Squeeze – Fresh out after six years locked up. He’s trying to stay clean, go legit, and prove he still has something to say.
    Little Mexico – A female MC and video vixen who runs her own model agency while raising a son. She’s all hustle, no handouts.
  • White Boy Jay – A former addict turned promoter. He’s channeling his street past into building up other artists.
  • YN HOLLYWOOD – A relentless bi-racial MC and part-time hustler juggling side gigs while chasing stardom.
Together, they form a crew that defies easy categorization. Their proximity to Black culture—through language, fashion, music, and experience—forces viewers to confront a difficult but necessary question: are they imitating a culture, or were they raised by it?
What sets Knights of Broward County apart is its refusal to gloss over the uncomfortable. Viewers are asked to confront what happens when individuals raised in the shadow of Black culture begin to reflect it, embody it, and survive through it—without fully belonging to it. The result is a provocative and emotionally charged exploration of identity in a place where culture isn’t just something you choose—it’s something you’re shaped by.
Accompanying the series is a digital-first video series titled “We Didn’t Choose This—We Were Raised In It,” which highlights the cast’s individual backstories through interviews, childhood images, and real neighborhood footage. These short features will roll out across social media in the weeks leading up to the premiere, offering a deeper look into the environments and experiences that shaped the cast’s identities.
The series challenges mainstream narratives by exposing the cultural crossover born in poverty-stricken communities where lines between race and survival blur. Rather than shy away from the complexity, Knights of Broward County leans directly into it—offering moments of raw vulnerability, internal conflict, and cultural reflection.
The show is executive produced by TyJo Network, a team of Black creatives who aim not to excuse the cast’s behavior but to examine the environments that shaped them. Knights of Broward County isn’t offering answers—it’s holding up a mirror to both its subjects and its audience, asking them to confront the realities that reality TV often avoids.
