Soul Food Cypher performed during Beltline Walls Festival and Family Paint Day on August 4, 2019. The events took place on the interim Northeast Trail under I-85. Soul Food Cypher explores the folk narrative of the city by utilizing the names, words, and adjectives that echo through Atlanta, and celebrates the people who make this one of the most wonderful cities in the world. This troupe presents this rich history by utilizing some of the most popular segments from their cypher events, “WordPlay” and “Nice Bars.” During WordPlay the emcees (freestyle rap artists) and members of the audience rap freestyle based on images and words they see on screen. For the ‘Nice Bars’ segment, Soul Food Cypher emcees source the crowd and provide compliments, in rhyme, to various audience members. While Freestyle rap is largely associated with battle rap, SFC does the reverse of a battle by providing goodwill and positive energy to the audience and community at large.
