Beenie Man, Bounty Killa, Skip Marley, Original Koffee, and Shenseea bring the vibes to the 2020 Hip Hop Awards with their reggae cypher.
Highlight #4: The Ladies First Cypher
Brandy, Erykah Badu, Teyana Taylor, and H.E.R., are the femcees who hopped on the mic in the Ladies First cypher. I mean, the line up alone was the highlight!
*Honorable Mention* Highlight #5: 2 Chainz Performance of “Money Maker”
2 Chainz and Lil Wayne close out the 2020 Hip Hop Awards with their performance of “Money Maker.” Definitely THE HBCU anthem of 2020 despite no homecomings happening but the extra sauce of this performance was the spoken work by Sunni Patterson and the black ballerinas.
