Legendary Cyphers Season 7 Premiere
Legendary Cyphers is back for Season 7! We had a great opening night, filled with plenty of new faces and all the vets came out. We even had our first battle break out between Iron Emperor and Osyris Antham!
A personal goal for Season 7 is to take way more photos as well as continuing to provide the livestream coverage of the cypher! So to follow through and deliver in that, here or some shots from Friday’s cypher!

Legendary Cyphers visits College Of Staten Island
During our visit to Staten Island College not only did Legendary Cyphers showed off their Lyrical prowess but explained to the students how a cypher was and still is the original social medium for communities.
I had my first visit to a college campus in a long while thanks to Legendary Cyphers. Eli, Bjorn and Miky showed out for the CSI students, who didn't seem to know what was going on at first. Thanks to mainstream media the culture of hip-hop has been lost to a generation that eat, sleep and dreams hip-hop.
So L.C. not only showed off their Lyrical prowess but explained to the students how a cypher was and still is the original social medium for communities. There was even a conversation sparked by one student employed by the school about the lack of promotion of the event. Overall it was a great experience being able to connect with the youth and bringing light to traditional values of hip-hop culture. It's was definitely a warmup for the upcoming season which starts May 3rd! If you're free that Friday and want to test your skill with some of the best emcees in NYC come through.
Back to streets, check out my YouTube channel relaunch!
So I finally got around to taking YouTube serious, and started vlogging. I decided since I’m making an effort to put out more video content for myself I could use my return to journalism as a great intro video.
So I finally got around to taking YouTube serious, and started vlogging. I decided since I’m making an effort to put out more video content for myself I could use my return to journalism as a great intro video. Those who follow my periscope and twitter accounts are most familiar with my coverage of the NYC activism specifically the Black Lives Matter movement. This fist vlog has some photos as well as a short clip from a demonstration paying respect to Sandra Bland who died while in police custody back in 2015.
The second have of the vlog showcases some of the talent from Legendary Cyphers. L.C is a weekly hip hop event which is free to the public held in Union Sq Park. Emcees from all over the city gather along with hundreds of spectators throughout the night enjoying hip hop in it's true authentic form. You can watch my first ”episode” below!
Hope y'all enjoy the first of many more videos too come. There is quite a few dope events popping up here in NYC so go subscribe and stay tuned I'm coming with more content!
