BET Hip Hop Awards Cypher 2011: Nigerian Rappers Revealed!

Naija Stand Up!

The time has come for Nigerian Hip Hop to receive global recognition as we've been given a chance to showcase our rap skills to the international community. The BET Hip Hop Awards 2011 will be aired LIVE from Atlanta to the international audience on the 11th of October. For the majority of rapheads, the biggest catch of the show is the "CYPHER".  Virtually every top rapper has graced it, and this year promises to be an exciting one. Why? Because a Nigerian Rap contingent will also be on show.
