The 2021 Hip-Hop Awards Cypher freestyles didn’t necessarily live up to the hype of past award shows, but it was still nice to see some of the young talent out there, doing their thing. There was a “Lyricism Cypher”, featuring Tierra Whack, Smino and D Smoke, a “Digital Cypher” comprised of Kidd Kenn, Lakeyah, Toosii and Symba and a “Hot Now Cypher” with Erica Banks, Fivio Foreign, Sleepy Hallow and Rico Nasty. Women were definitely represented, and at least one woman was featured in every cypher, which was great to see. The content for the most part wasn’t refreshing, but its 2021 and the raps match the songs we’re getting, so it makes sense.
I ranked the 2021 Hip-Hop Awards Cypher freestyles from best to worst. Check them out and let me know if you agree.

The remaining 2021 Hip-Hop Awards Cypher freestyles still can’t be found online. I need to listen to them at least a couple more times before I can add them to the rankings…
