The premier lyricist cypher series presented by CHHK and The Punchline Academy, with CHHK and The Dropouts Band performing.
The Lyric League Cypher comes to Flamingo Cantina on Saturday, August 15, presented by CHHK and The Punchline Academy. It's a night built around the cypher format—a circle of emcees trading verses—and the whole thing is filmed on-site, so the room is as much a part of the show as the stage. Flamingo Cantina is also organizing the event, and it's for ages 21 and over.
The main act is CHHK with The Dropouts Band, and the night is hosted by Da Inphamus Amadeus of The Punchline Academy. The Lyric League Cypher is billed as the premier lyricist cypher series in the world right now, and that's the energy they're bringing to the room: a focus on the writing and the delivery, with the band backing the emcees as they go around the circle. If you've never seen a cypher live, it's less like a standard concert and more like a session, with the focus on who can hold their own when the mic passes.

It's a late one, running from 9 PM into the early hours of Sunday, August 16, with the doors opening at 9 PM. The $5 cover is one of the cheaper tickets you'll find for a night of live hip-hop in the city, and the 21+ requirement means you can grab a drink while you watch. The whole thing goes until 2 AM, so there's plenty of room for the cypher to stretch out.
