    Scheduled for October 10th at 9 p.m. ET, BET is preparing for its annual Hip Hop Awards with an impressive lineup. Fat Joe is gearing up for his second consecutive year as host, and the network unveiled a star-studded roster of performers on September 27.

    The announcement included heavyweight acts like Offset and DaBaby, as well as emerging talents such as Fivio Foreign, GloRilla, and Sexyy Red.

    In addition to solo performances, the evening promises more than just individual acts. BET has plans for a tribute to celebrate So So Def’s 30th anniversary, headlined by Jermaine Dupri and featuring iconic figures like Bow Wow, Da Brat, and Ludacris.

    “This year’s BET Hip Hop Awards will mark the culmination of our yearlong celebration of hip hop’s storied creation and the art form’s sonic and cultural expansion,” noted Connie Orlando, BET’s executive vice president of specials, music programming, and music strategy.

    “We are honored by this year’s roster of nominees as they carry the diversity and creativity of hip hop into the future,” she concluded. We congratulate all of the nominees on their successes as they advance hip-hop creativity.

    Furthermore, the network is bringing back its original cypher segment with an exciting twist. Superproducers Timbaland and Swizz Beatz will oversee this lyrical battle, featuring verses from seasoned artists like Bun B and Cassidy, alongside promising newcomers such as Lady London and Lola Brooke. DJs E Feezy and Runna are also lined up to keep the turntables spinning.

    In addition to that, there will be a separate cypher hosted by DJ Hed, featuring Nell Grant, Maiya The Don, and That Mexican OT in a thrilling freestyle showdown.

    These artists add to the list of top nominees vying for awards, with Cardi B and 21 Savage leading the pack with an impressive 12 nominations each. Meanwhile, Drake follows closely with nine nominations of his own.

    In addition, Burna Boy and DJ Khaled secured an impressive seven nominations each, while J. Cole earned six nominations.
