“A ‘cypher’ in rap is broadly understood to be a circle with different emcees taking turns at laying down verses. But it can signify more than that.”
“They build on the legacy of old school hip-hop and rap records that spoke truth to power, like Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five’s The Message, to promote social consciousness and creative expression.”
“By showcasing the positive aspects of rap through cypher events and tournaments, the organization provides lyricists with a nurturing environment where their voice and artistry can grow.”
“By concentrating on expanding consciousness through the craft and ingenuity of freestyle rap and spoken language, SFC builds structure by facilitating regular cyphers that foster creativity and a sense of camaraderie within the city’s underground hip-hop scene.”
We solidify the art of freestyling as a genuine aesthetic to the wider artistic community and carry this rich tradition to the next generation.
The cypher is a community.
SFC presents One Hundred is an event specifically for the freestyle rap art form itself. Spur of the moment, off-the-top rap. Whatever you feel comfy calling it, that's what we push forward. Live DJs & producers, live beatboxers, and various freestyle rap exercises make up this event. No two events spawn the same lyrics, so don't miss out on any of them.
