The Cypher is one of the best places to experience true unity. ZHE is the founder of Cypher Club YYC - the longest running Cypher on Treaty 7 Land Cypher Club is a crew of producers, rappers and musicians who have been meeting for nearly a decade to practice freestyle creation through hip hop based sound. ZHE knows the instant bonds which can form when people actively listen to one another and share bars over a beat.
Cypher Club appreciates the values of hip hop, respect, unity and having fun. Everyone is welcome to come join the vibe! We begin with a Circle Up where we check in and then we move into freestyle expression, everyone has a chance to share their bars, poetry or melodies to the live beats being spun by one of our awesome Cypher Club DJs. We close out the events with gratitude where everyone says something they are grateful for. The Cypher encourages humans from all walks of life to be fully present and authentic with one another - fostering belonging and building meaningful community.
