Joining Legendary Cyphers has definitely been an honor and while my primary function within the media team has involved filming I decided I would incorporate more of my passion for photography in my work for Season 7. Here is some of my favorites from this year!
I'll be posting photos from each week of LC here, so for the rappers and looking for photos of themselves you should definitely bookmark this page!

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.
Brooklyn Museum First Saturdays 1.5.19
I haven't been to a major event in a while so I decided to get the rust off & I popped out to Brooklyn Musuems First Saturdays.

This week has been pretty eventful! I linked up twice with #LegendaryCyphers. In addition to the weekly cypher (which is in its second week, I accompanied the team for there performance at the OKAY SPACE in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. They did their thing as USUAL. Its cool to see the team which is in its 6th Season continue to get recognition for their incredible freestyle talent. The OkayPlayer staff were super cool and they definitely have dope ass workspace. Probably the coolest I've personally seen. I was able to snap some shots of the guys during their performance check out the pics...
Then there was last night Week 2 of the Season which flowed so much smoother than last week. If you've ever been to Jnion Sq. at night you know they type of ”characters” you can run into. The love and support for the event was great as usual. Plus for this who didn't know I live stream the hip-hop cypher on my periscope & twitter! So the you can watch the 4hr event from start to finish. Which is great for those not lucky enough to live in this expensive ass city. 😂
You watch the entire stream no need to download another app, but I will it's a way better experience if you do!
