The Lynn Hip Hop Wall of Fame is a community driven mural to commemorate the talented hip hop artists from Lynn and support the long history of Lynn hip hop culture. Inductees will be voted on by the Lynn hip hop community for the first induction ceremony tentatively scheduled for Spring/Summer 2022. The first year induction will be a large induction class followed every year thereafter by a smaller class for each category. The first year induction includes the top 10 rappers in Lynn, Top 5 Producers, Top 5 people that have uplifted the hip hop community and a battle rap category to commemorate the Lynn battle rap culture. Lynn hip hop fans will vote in a survey to decide who deserves the go on the wall. The voting is meant to spark conversations within the community about artists that represent Lynn hip hop. The goal being that these conversations will lead to more people recognizing the talent in their community by engaging each other in discussion.

The voting process utilizes a two phase voting system where curators vote for the nominees in the first phase, and the general public gets to vote for finalists in the second phase. There is no ceiling on the number of curators, and membership is accepted on a rolling basis. When the two phase voting process begins, curators are the first to receive a ballot and will help filter down the pool of nominees for the general public to choose.
