T.I. - T.I. may have lost his freedom with two prison sentences in the past few years, but he never lost his relentless rhyme skills. Look for Tip to try to re-assert his King of the South title — and build anticipation for his upcoming album,Trouble Man — with fire-breathing bars in the Cypher.(Photo: Atlantic Records)
DMX - After a long, bumpy road back to the spotlight — potholed by addiction, jail time and divorce — DMX is as hungry as ever. With a new bark and bite, the Dog can back up the name of his new album, Undisputed, and cement his comeback with a dominating Cypher performance.(Photo: Myspace)A$AP Rocky - Harlem rookie A$AP Rocky took the world by storm last year, riding the hype from his acclaimed debut mixtape, LiveLoveA$AP, to a massive major-label deal and superstar co-signs. A standout verse in the Cypher would prove A$AP can hang with the big boys, and launch the buildup to his forthcoming studio debut, LongLiveA$AP.(Photo: Roger Kisby/Getty Images)

Snoop Dogg - Snoop Dogg is nothing short of a legend. From his landmark 1993 debut, Doggystyle to "Drop It Like It's Hot" to his reincarnation as Snoop Lion, tha Doggfather has been hip-hop's top household name for two decades now (ask your grandma). His laid-back, effortless flow will no doubt keep the Cipher ice cold.(Photo: Joe Kohen/Getty Images)
