Another highlight: Snoop Dogg's introduction of the I Am Hip Hop Award, which went to Percy \"Master P\" Miller, who was honored for his numerous contributions to music and hip-hop culture.

Lil Baby and 42 Dugg gave the first performance of the evening with their latest collaboration, \"We Paid.\" The City Girls followed up with a fierce, jungle-themed performance of their \"City on Lock\" singles, \"Kitty Talk\" and \"Jobs.\"

For the first cypher -- or freestyle session -- Chicago rapper Polo G, Chika, Jack Harlow, Flawless from Netflix's \"Rhythm + Flow,\" and Rapsody, who also won Lyricist of the Year, joined forces. Dancehall legend Beenie Man introduced the award show’s first-ever reggae cypher, featuring Skip Marley, Bounty Killa, and Jamaican artists Koffee and Shenseea.

And for the ladies of R&B cypher, Brandy, H.E.R., Teyana Taylor and Erykah Badu freestyled their wide range of vocals over an instrumental of Brandy's \"I Wanna Be Down.\"

Wearing a shirt with the faces with Breonna Taylor and George Floyd, rising Houston rapper Tobe Nwigwe delivered a high-level performance of \"Try Jesus\" and \"Eat.\"

Democratic vice presidential nominee Kamala Harris also made an appearance to express the need for historically Black college and universities \"to help us build the shared future we all deserve.\"
