Earlier this month, multimedia creative collective 199Z released their 2018 Cypher Series videos featuring rappers based in the Greater Toronto Area. For fun, the 199Z-team asked us to pick our favourite MC from each of the 3 videos. It wasn’t easy considering the caliber of talent they brought to the table. Remember, it’s just our opinion. S/O to all the artists involved.
The videos were directed by Néeshell, while music production was handled by Yogidaproducer, Nate Smith, and Florian.
Check out the 3 videos below, along with our picks.
“199Z is a multi-media creative collective dedicated to celebrating the art, culture, and individuals of our current generation, Z. What we strive to focus on is creating an outlet of appreciation for the people of this generation meanwhile cultivating talents, and our 3 part cypher is just an example of such.”
