‘New York Undercover’ Returns with a Twist?

90’s Hip-Pop Show New York Undercover Makes Brief Appearance

Renowned for its hit run in the 90s, the adored Hip-Hop cop series, “New York Undercover”, brought together old-school enthusiasts over the weekend, albeit in an unexpected way as it marked its 30th anniversary. Players such as Chris Matthews (NBA shooting coach also known as Lethal Shooter), Dave East and more helped revitalize the show, giving a glimpse of what the once-popular show could look like if rebooted in today’s world.

Back with the Old Stars

The main highlights of this revival were the return of the show’s original detectives, Malik Yoba, and Michael DeLorenzo who retraced their steps as Detective J.C. Williams and Detective Eddie Torres respectively. Channeling their mid-90s vibes in baggy pants and leather jackets, they stirred up some nostalgic emotions as they jumped into action, trying to locate Lethal Shooter.

Despite facing resistance and denial of knowledge from Dave East and his crew, the two detectives were able to crack into Shooter’s hideaway. They then swung back into action at the Dyckman court, breaking the case wide open in just shy of 30 minutes, much to the amusement of fans.

While it remains unclear whether this was a one-time reunion for the actors or a hint at the possibility of the series resurfacing on TV or streaming platforms, there’s no doubt that fans were thrilled to see their favorite detectives back patrolling the streets of New York.
