It’s almost that time of year again, where rap aficionados gather ’round and watch heavyweight lyricists spit gems on national television. The highly-anticipated lineup for this year’s BET Hip-Hop Awards has been revealed for the people.

It’s been a tradition to see posse cyphers in past award shows (i.e Shady Records and TDE). This year, we have none other than Wiz Khalifa‘s Taylor Gang crew (composed of Juicy J, Ty Dolla $ign, Tuki Carter, Berner, and Chevy Woods) taking center stage. Recently released from prison, Remy Ma will also be making an appearance in the cypher amongst her fellow female rhyme-spitters Lil Mama, Snow Tha Product, and Dreezy.

Other cypher participants lined up include Papoose, G-Eazy,  Troy Ave, Kevin Gates, David Banner, Logic, Genesis, Vic Mensa, Loaded Lux, Dee-1, Detroit Che, DJ Scratch, Treach, King Los, Corey Charron, T-Rex, Rain 910, Tsu Surf, Goodz, Dillon Cooper, Two-9, Andy Mineo, Jarren Benton, Emilio Rojas, and Conceited.

Snoop Dogg will be hosting the show once again this year. Expect performances from T.I, Common, Rich Homie Quan, and more. Doug E. Fresh will be presented with the “I Am Hip-Hop Icon” award this year. You can check out the nominees for each category here. The show, which will be taped on September 20, will be premiering on October 14 at 8PM.
