Rapper Ludacris and rocker Tommy Lee are teaming up — or rather, facing off — to spread the word about the environment.

The two musicians have signed up to star in “Battleground Earth,” which will air on the Discovery Channel’s new network PlanetGreen.

The show will follow Ludacris and Lee as they embark on a 10-date bus tour, competing in challenges that highlight environmental issues along the way.

In the series finale, the two will band together to co-headline a concert at Los Angeles’ Greek Theatre with proceeds going to Griffith Park, the second-largest city park in California.

“Battleground” is set to begin production in the next few weeks, with plans for a late July or early August premiere.

Ludacris previously supported the green cause when he took part in last summer’s Live Earth concert.
