Love & Hip Hop: New York New Cast Members:

Chink Santana is a talented music producer who has worked with artists such as Ashanti and Keyshia Cole. His girlfriend, Chrissy Crastanda, would like to solidify their relationship, but Chink’s commitment to his family and work may prevent them from moving forward.

Chrissy Crastanda is a NYC socialite and owner of a modeling agency. She is ready to start a family with her boyfriend Chink but his other commitments and delayed divorce are putting her wishes on hold.

Cisco Rosado is a well-known producer who has worked with Tank, Jim Jones, and Uncle Murder. His “don’t ask, don’t tell” relationship with his girlfriend, Diamond Strawberry, takes a turn for the worst when she decides to move to NY to be closer to him and later finds out he has been dishonest.
