In line with Uganda HipHop Awards 2016, MTN put up for grabs a cash prize of 1,000,000 UGX and a recording deal to one lucky rapper in their cypher competition. The criteria was you record a video of yourself rhyming to a beat that includes an MTN intro and Outro, with no abusive, obscene or hate language and then post it on social media with the hashtag #MTNCypher. The recording with the most engagements was to pocket the 1,000,000 UGX and recording contract.
