We're back for Round Three of @inkcypher. A cypher is a space of dialogue & a place to build energy so I've commissioned 14 new works on Hip Hip dance which answer, respond to or challenge what has been written by folks in the previous rounds. This is an #InkCypher.

On this day in 1973 Cindy Campbell hosted the 'Back To School Jam' at 1520 Sedgewick Ave, The Bronx, NY. This event has come to define the - at that time unnamed - unofficial birth of Hip Hop. 50 years later I've been working as a Producer with @BobakChampion on Salaam'O'Salaam.
