DESCRIPTION:
noun

cypher

1. In hip-hop parlance, the term refers to something like a jam session in which everyone contributes to the creative experience. Be they DJs, dancers, rappers or graffiti writers, all the different artists that collectively make up the culture of hip-hop can have their own cypher. Rappers cypher together huddled in a corner, rhyming a capella to handclaps or any ambient beats in the surrounding environment.
