The Sypher

The Sypher has been a student under the tutelage of Hip Hop since penned rhymes have been committed to records. During his teens he exposed himself to the best of what every era of Hip Hop has had to offer creating a well rounded and knowledgeable MC. Working with MC Ness of Symbiosis and 2Tuff Productions through the 90's offered his first opportunities to rock the mic. During the years of the new millennium The Sypher is a leader of the DMV underground Hip Hop movement and culture. In 2007 The Sypher met and teamed up with Sight of Ryze Records to form Shatterproof. He shortly after signed to Ryze Records to adding the battle rap/underground element the label had been diligently seeking. The question has been asked... "Is Hip Hop dead?" Listening to The Sypher will quickly help you realize that the music and culture is alive and well with such a champion in the industry.
