When Run's House returns next week, you will see the entire first family of Hip Hop -- including Jojo.

Surprisingly arrested on possession of illegal substances charges in May, Jojo will appear on the season as his family attempts to deal with what sisters Angela and Vanessa called "a mistake". But before the cameras take you there, the season premiere of the hit MTV series will kick off June 15 as the family takes a vacation in Hawaii.

In a release issued this week, MTV says "As the season unfolds, viewers will witness the serious side of Run, as the family deals with the arrest of Jojo for the posession of illegal substances. Throughout the season, the family faces a host of new challenges, but shows that Rev Run and the family can keep it all together through tough love and unyielding support".

With the above statement in mind, it appears that viewers will see exactly what Run and his wife's response to JoJo's arrest was like and the more than likely tense aftermath once he was released.

As reported by New York news outlets in May, Jojo was apprehended on Manhattan's Upper West Side after allegedly buying marijuana. Spotted by NYD officers rolling the marijuana into a joint, Jojo attempted to flee police but crashed into a parked car. As if this was not enough the aspiring rapper tried to fight officers and flee but failed and was taken into custody. At the time of arrest Jojo was booked on attempted reckless endangerment, two misdemeanor charges of crimianl use of drug paraphenalia and resisting arrest, and violation for possession.

After the incident was settled Run tweeted "You can learn many things from your children.."

Besides JoJo's troubles it will be interesting to see how the rest of the family, including Vanessa, Angela, Diggy, Russy, Miley, and Justine are doing.

Run's House premieres on MTV June 15 at 10pm ET.
