Chuck D, co-founder of the super hip-hop rap group Public Enemy; picks up a new show on Air America, “On The Real,” which will debut May 29th with actor/comedian Jamie Foxx as the first guest.

Co-hosted by writer/producer Gia Garrell, the show promises “music, comedy and verbal sparring highlighting the impact of current, global, sociopolitical issues,” according to a company release.

“Chuck D and Gia’s show will provide listeners with the perfect mix of political activism and pop culture,” Air America Co-COO/president of programming Jon Sinton said in a statement.

Chuck D had been co-host for the daily show “Unfiltered,” which was cancelled on March 31.
