New hip-hop doc takes New Yorkers into the cypher scene

In an excerpt from, “Off The Top,” a short documentary series, New Yorker Sam Sulam takes viewers into Manhattan’s “underground” cypher scene, a world of improvised rap and hip-hop battles. The clip above takes place during Enrae Mercer’s (aka Super King Armor) weekly Thursday night cypher “Knock-Ternal Rhyme Sessions” in Washington Square Park.
