Every year the BET Hip Hop Awards roll around people ask who is going to be in the cyphers? The cyphers very well may be the biggest draw of the award show. In past years this list usually gets “leaked” or released well ahead of time but this year was an exception.
2 Dope Boyz report the list of rappers for this year’s cypher.
The full list of participants is below:
Albe Back
Black Thought
Casey Veggies
Charles Hamilton
Daveed Diggs
DJ Premier
Doug E. Fresh
Erick Sermon
J-Doe
Jackie Spade
Joyner Lucas
Keith Murray
King Mez
Lin-Manuel Miranda
Muggsy Malone
Nicole Paris
Rahzel
Raury
Redman
Renee Elise Goldsberry
Tink
Tripz
Vince Staples
As you see the list contains a lack of big names and seems to have opted out for the quality and exposure route. The cast of legends are there of course, Redman, Erick Sermon, Doug E. Fresh, DJ Premier and a few others but there is no categories to the list this year. So there is no way of knowing who will be rapping with each other.
The hip hop awards air on BET tonight and cyphers will air throughout the program.
