It’s Going Down!
On Saturday, January 16th, 2016 at 9:00 PM, The NatCave Studio is hosting an exclusive hip-hop studio cypher. Be there and bring your best 16-bar verse.
The studio cypher is different from a live cypher. Each artist takes turns performing their verse in the booth. Our chief engineer Nathanial Foreman will record your vocals. You’ll have 10 minutes to record your verse and any adlibs. Once everyone performs we will playback the entire collaborative performance. After the event, Nathanial will mix the cypher within a few days and upload the final mix to the NatCave Studio Soundcloud page.
During the cypher, everyone is welcome to take pictures and record video. Enjoy some refreshments and network with other artists.
This time around, we want YOU to choose the instrumental!
