Gab, Erik P., Nyae Slanger & LIB Foreign – LIB Cypher 2017

Two words that go hand-in-hand are “hip-hop” and “competition,” and the brand new “LIB Cypher 2017” shows viewers just that. Rappers Gab, Erik P., Nyae Slanger, and LIB Foreign step up to the plate, plopping off some rap ruthlessness. Centered around the artists’ home country of Liberia, the artists spotlight the West African country not only through their fiery rap lines but also through their clothing attire and even use of Coloqua (Liberian language) during the cypher. Check out the JnkyardCinema-directed clip below!
