The Fourth Annual Alumni Cypher Series

#AlumniCypher

Every July we invite all our past guests back to rhyme live on-air with their fellow MCs. This year we had four cyphers with over 20 artists. For the second year, we partnered with The Beat Club Podcast to provide them with instrumentals to flex on. Watch all four cyphers above and hear us recap our favorites below.

LFOD Radio Ep. 107 (Featuring Dé Von)

We’re joined this week by Dé Von. Long time listeners will remember his production on the 2016 Alumni Cypher but he’s evolved quite a bit since then, producing and singing with a style of his own. Crazy talented, and it’s been great watching his transformation into the artist he is today. We also recapped a dope weekend of events, heard about his plans for the future, and discussed a wide range of musical influences.

LFOD Radio Ep. 100 (Featuring Noel Pancho)

We celebrated our 100th episode with Noel Pancho, formerly Fran-P, who has a new EP out (Stargazers) & just launched a podcast of his own! The Spanglish Podcast was inspired in part by his endeavor to listen to a new (to him) album every day – we got into what that was like, which album stood out to him, and what genre kept pulling him back. We also talked about love, hope, and his continuous quest for knowledge. Because if one thing is true, it’s that #PanchoKnows.

Darius Heywood is rock solid. He & long-time friend/collaborator Rauxy Woodro came through and talked about everything from their first project together, expectations for their next, and where they’re taking us to eat in Brockton. In between, Darius got very real about where he’s been, what he stands for, and what it takes to make it as an artist. Lots in here for both fans and fellow musicians. 

From the East!

LFOD Radio Ep. 97 (Featuring Jon Hope)

What better way to start 2018 off than with a shot of Hope? Jon Hope has been putting on for his hometown for quite a while now, so it’s only right that he was the first Rhode Island artist to join us on LFOD. He’s got a new EP out, Savage Beauty, as well as a book, a podcast of his own, and….well, tune in to find out. Great energy on this one & definitely an episode that we’ll look back on as the starting point for a lot of future endeavors. 2018. Let’s fucking go.

Last year, we sat down with Tim Larew, Dart Adams, Bedlam, and Justice Born to discuss the state of New England Hip-Hop. This year, we returned with the same cast, minus Justice (he’ll be back soon), to see how we’ve done in the year since. If you haven’t heard the first one, we’d strongly suggest listening…and even if you have it’s worth revisiting. Gem after gem after gem. We’ll be back next week with the artists’ point of view.

It’s Blackout Season, if you didn’t know… Casso is back from his hiatus and flooding the scene with music, videos, skits, and more. It’s really not just a mixtape. We sat down with Blvck Morris & his Small World conglomerate this week for a rare peak behind the scenes.
