MTN Pulse to reward Hip-Hop fraternity this Saturday
While 2020 was a difficult year for the music industry because of the outbreak of Covid-19, it didn’t stop musicians from spewing new songs.
And now, it’s that time of the year when we recognise and celebrate rappers that made it big in the Hip Hop industry despite the odds.
The MTN Pulse HipHop awards happen this Saturday the 16th May 2021. Who did you vote for? Who is your male artist of the year 2020? How about the Hip hop DJ of the year?
Find out all this and more on Saturday. The event will happen at Motiv at with limited access due to the need to observe SOPs.
But the general public will be served to this spectacular event live on UGHHA social media channels and MTN UG YouTube channel. So you don’t have any reason to miss. This event is going to be lit.
And look out for the winners of the MTN Pulse Cypher challenge; new and undiscovered talent to showcase their abilities in an online Hip Hop rap battle.
If you downloaded the MTN Cypher beat from the MTN Pulse Microsite, rapped over it and sent in your video, got your friends to vote, you could be in for a treat.
