It’s that time again. The Cypher is back at the 2025 EightDown™ Festival. Last year, team captains/hosts Miles Mason and Chuck Mason held it down with an insane barrage of bars from the likes of Feeray, Jaceon Bayne, Boomer Boomski, Acksiz, Syd Blane, JusWayne, OGPG, Kyndl, TDotMarley, Shae Sparks, Skypp, Tully C, Jeremiah Stokes, Ducktoff Mtu, Weirdo Gang (TK TheGrate, Ayara Senoj, Flip A Rachee), Pope Adrian Bless, Kiana Flowers and Twelve. This year we hope to continue to raise the bar, elevate the consciousness, and display the tremendous lyrical prowess and stage presence that Naptown has in spades.
This year our team captains/hosts are Joosi GotBars and Jinx Eshaa and each is compiling their squads to respectively shut the stage down on August 2, 2025 during the DJ Skrill Memorial Heritage Cup tournament on the SoundStage.
If you think YOUR name deserves to be mentioned along with the greats above, as well as the greats who’ve performed prior over the last nine years, reach out to Jinx or Joosi to throw your hat in the ring, or sign up directly below
You might even want to run it back from last year, and we’re not mad at that! We just wanna show the city who’s got now is in the circle city!
