The much-anticipated cyphers were hosted by DJ Hed and featured a bevy of emcees, R&B songstresses and reggae stars dropping hot sixteens including Beenie Man, Bounty Killer, Original Koffee, Shenseea, Skip Marley, ZJ Liquid, Adé, Buddy, Deanté Hitchcock, and Flo Milli. Singers Brandy, Erykah Badu, H.E.R., and Teyana Taylor joined forces for a show-stopping, all-female collaboration. Rappers Chika, Flawless Real Talk, Jack Harlow, Polo G, and Rapsody let their voices be heard in the first-ever “Social Justice” cypher.
Presenters for the evening also included Hip Hop heavyweight T.I. and R&B superstar Monica.
