MTV's Syrus is hosting a Kentucky Derby after party with breakout hip-hop artist Jim Phebe & DJ Q, along with a casting call for another reality show. Calling all Snookis....

MTV will host a reality show casting party this Saturday night after Derby at The Frazier History Museum [3] in downtown Louisville. Dubbed as “The Hottest Derby Party” and hosted by MTV's Syrus, the apparent casting call will also feature a special performance by a new break-out hip-hop artist Jim Phebe of Nu Look Records and music by DJ Q.

Frederick, Maryland-based Jim Phebe is said to deliver a true hip-hop experience during his performances mixed with socially conscience lyrics. His debut album A Nu Look At the Game was released in February 2010 on Nu Look Records. Phebe is also expected to perform several songs from his upcoming new album entitled I Can Do What You Can Do. Phebe was produced by the legendary Sam Sneed, formerly of Death Row Records.
