As hundreds of rappers across the country strived to step their bars up for the BET Hot 16 Bar Challenge, the pressure to deliver as profoundly as last year’s winner was monumental.
Blazing the 2014 BET Hip Hop Awards cypher was Detroit Che, the charismatic underdog whose origins are repped in her name. Circling around known ‘lyrical punishers’ (Troy Ave, Dee-1, Logic and Lil Mama), Che held her own and proved that her wordplay can compete with some of the best in the game. To this day, people still talk about Detroit Che’s lyrical ability and how her metaphors left viewers speechless.

Since the cypher, Che has released a bundle of new music. Her recent release, “Answer,” showcases her ability to body an entire track with ease. Produced by Detroit Native ALI Keys, Che’s power-driven rhymes skated over the gritty instrumental. Like the influencer of the track, Allen Iverson, Detroit Che has the potential to wreak havoc in the game.
