The second run of the UG Hip Hop Awards happened last Thursday 14 of December at Golf Course Hotel. The competition was stiff and in most categories the results seemed more dramatic, unexpected and quite shocking.  Another brick was added on the UG Hip Hop house.

Below is a full list of winners and the nominees within those categories. The winners in each category have been typed in bold.

The life time Achievement award went to PTech (R.I.P) and his family received the award. This is the only category the organisers don’t open to the general public for nomination or voting.
