NYU Local invited some of our school’s lyrical greats to rap (and subsequently spit hot fire) on a roof. Rappers Dylan Owen, Topaz Jones, and Anonymous (And.On.I.Most.) joined beatmaker Sam Wildkatz for a few minutes of word play and tongue twisters to let off some steam before finals. Earthquakes ensued.
There is undoubtedly a collection of spoken word prodigies at NYU as evinced by Gallatin’s new Hip-Hop and Spoken Word workshop. We want to have a cypher next semester that is eight times the size and length, so if you think you can rhyme send an email to nyulocaleditor@gmail.com. We’re looking for the next Mos Def.
