SHERMAN OAKS, Calif., Dec. 15 /PRNewswire/ -- GoTV Networks today announced the launch of Hip Hop Official's "Off the Top" -- the first and only mobile television show dedicated to capturing hip-hop's hottest artists droppin' exclusive verses and freestyles. Fans everywhere can watch their favorite artists rap "Off the Top" on GoTV's Hip Hop Official channel, the mobile destination for the hip-hop lifestyle that offers exclusive artist interviews, features, reviews, and event coverage of mainstream and underground hip-hop events. Each week, host Daylan Williams scours the scene to bring Cingular subscribers a behind-the-scenes look at some of hip-hop's most sought after performers.

"Hip Hop Official is a prime example of how mobile television is gaining traction as a mainstream entertainment medium," said Daniel Tibbets, executive vice president of studios, GoTV Networks.
