One of the only awards shows that centers on hip-hop and remains authentically connected to the culture is taking place tonight.
Announcing the nominations for the 2020 BET Hip-Hop Awards several weeks ago, it was revealed that DaBaby and Roddy Ricch were leading the fray, being up for twelve and eleven prizes respectively. In addition to the awards that will be handed out, we can expect performances from some of the greatest artists out today, including cyphers from respected emcees, and more.
Basically, tonight will be a celebration of hip-hop.
