It's Only Cold in Denver


After you're gone, there will be someone else there to inspire the music...





D-Major delivers a uniquely smooth production for another introspective and lyrically laced Winter track entitled "It's Only Cold in Denver", a record from the forthcoming release of Cypher Clique's 3rd project in a calendar year,    The District ...







Couple random highlights before I release the guest blog;





  • We can't get mad at the little shit Johnny Manziel does when Lawrence Taylor did coke with a 16 year old prostitute
  • The pettiest shit I do with my life nowadays is randomly text one of my exes "I know what you've been doing out here, I've got my ear to the streets..."
  • Your military money can't save you once those club lights come on and the real games begin
  • After you're gone, there will be someone else there to inspire the music
  • Some of you have been living with your parents since the 20th century
  • (think about that last one for like 4-5 seconds)
  • Your relationship is so strong because your girlfriend  comes to Dewey twice a week in the summer

“I’ll never get shitted on because I’ll never care. Once you start treating me like you are aware of these things everything we do and say will be a lot realer.” 

Until recently I always thought of his logic as absurd. Now, I sit here in Aww of how innovative he really was. 

There once was a time were snapchat and screenshots never existed, a time of the sauré.. Many beautiful women from all over the state would rally, in hopes to sip with a few of the top 10 men of Delaware. One in which, I would never forget. He was the mastermind behind it all.. Only a few were in on his plans, and the rest of us were just “putty”. I was brought to him and his men by a green eyed woman in who’s beauty seared through their souls. She had the power to isolate the weak and give them will to do what ever her heart desired; they called her “The Chosen One”.
My first encounter with part of the supremacy (not to be mistaken with the the top 10) and their chosen one was an honor I had literally slept on. They had all sat in a circle and conversed of many things… Their commentary was raw and uncut; No one I’ve ever met had spoke of such heresy. I quickly identified the voice, the man who spoke of such obscure things, they had called him Mic Anthony. Mic Anthony had the gift to speak what most people thought but feared to say. After an intriguing hour passed, I was put in a deep sleep with the herbal medicine they had provided. Not having much memory of that night, I thought to myself I must surround myself with these people!

A month or so went by and the chosen one had brought me to an event where I was to be introduced to a few more members of the supremacy. Not many that I didn’t recognize before stood out, but he did. He was to be identified as the record holder, and later as the mastermind behind it all. He had much sway over the group at the time and so he approached me with questions, questions that would determine if I was worthy to be around him and his men. I had a pure mentality that the record holder admired; he was so pleased that he gave me the web key where I would learn more about the supremacy and their past. I had learned that they had been hosting soirées for many years, and so a revolution referred to as “The Bush Administration” came about. The record holder never went into great detail about this dark time, and so I don’t know very much but what has came from it. Which brings me to rule number 

1. Monogamy isn’t for everybody                                                                        
Eventually I got to spend time with the record holder with out the sears permission. One of the very first things he had expressed was that he would never marry. He said that he’s seen someone get cheated on every weekend since The Bush Administration. At that moment I decided that we would never see eye to eye and to steer clear of his pursuits.

Unlike traditional scribes, the record holder was rarely ever silent. You could always find him competing for the rooms attention with Mic Anthony. As I sat on the kitchen counter top silently, I took a drink of the infamous Carlos de Rossi listening to the two of them go back and forth. I then looked over to see the scribe withdrawal, and suddenly the voice had filled the room. The record holder then took the opportunity to approach me for the very first time after our initial meeting. With his back blocking off the rest of the function he had asked how I had been, I responded nonchalantly “good” still engrossed in the voice’s discussion. Taking the initiative once again, the scribe had struck up a more stimulating conversation branching off one that had already been discussed. Not even five minutes had passed before the Sears green eyes had started to light up. She had deaded our conversation quickly and we all returned our focus. “Stay away from him”, she whispered.

Months had went passed and the leaves that were once so colorful had fallen and turned to dust as the ice cold winter was approaching. 

Disregarding the Sears warning, the scribe and I had formed a close bond. He had asked me to make an appearance at the upcoming soirée, and so I had asked the sear to accompany me. The chosen one happily declined my offer for she had made many enemies during the bush administration and foresaw the night ending disastrous. 

2. Too many bitches can definitely be a problem                                                                  
“If you run out of shit to talk about with bitches or someone hand them a drink or say take a shot.”
I don’t remember much, but I remembered Princess Leah welcoming the guest at the door. She was sweet and cheerful (as a princess should be) and had a glass of carlos in hand. I and my plus one had walked in to the soiree to see an array of dress. “Is this a soirée or an ugly christmas party?” my guest I had asked, but before I could answer Mic Anthony came over on a mission and handed us a drink......

Cypher Clique’s New Project “Everyone is Dangerous”; a review


Inside Look | Peep Delaware group Cypher Clique's New Project "Everyone is Dangerous"

written by Alex Bell
@ayybeeisme



There's a great deal to be said about the stars aligning when in pursuit of something great. That's what Dover, Delaware hip-hop squadron Cypher Clique has been grinding for since 2007, and with the release of their latest EP and short story package titled Everyone is Dangerous on February 4, it's clear to see that there's some constellations shifting into motion, and the Clique is on the precipice of something major. Oh, and did I mention that they're also fresh off  the heels of being the named as the first Delaware hip-hop act ever to perform at the first state's steady growing music festival, Firefly? With such a huge honor bestowed upon them coupled with the release of their latest project, the Clique realizes that their time is now, and none of that time can be spent half-steppin'.




"With Spring and Summer coming, we're switching into tour mode. We're in the process of booking a hefty amount of shows and expanding this year, and in turn hopefully reaching new markets," says Mic Anthony, the group's designated shit talker and one of the main contributors to the Clique's ever developing sound. With a multitude of shows and opportunities on the horizon, the DE group has got a lot to be excited about, but there's no denying that the first state's festival isn't just another notch on the Clique's belt --- one that includes opening for acts like Wale, A$AP Rocky, Mac Miller, Meek Mill, and Action Bronson.
"It's historical. Hopefully the Firefly Festival continues on for the next fifty years so we can look back and say we were the first. Firefly is a great accomplishment, but there is still much more to be done," Mic admitted. As Anthony alludes to, being named to the east coast festival's  2015 lineup among the likes of Beatles front man Paul McCartney, OG west coast icon Snoop Dogg, Cleveland musician KiD CuDi, and EDM mastermind Steve Aoki is pivotal, but the booking isn't a certified validation that the Clique has "made it." Instead, it merely raises the bar for the collective, and with a long 2015 calendar year ahead of them, they're dialed in on what's necessary for them to progress to the next level. Keeping that in mind, their aforementioned project Everyone is Dangerous is surely a step in the right direction.



The project, which is actually a compilation of nine songs as well as a short, post-apocalyptic narrative written by Cypher Clique associate Erich, showcases what the group has been working on since they dropped their last joint "Greatest Show on Thirst" this past August. The EP does a thorough job in ushering its listeners into a musical environment that capitalizes on sounds and concepts that the Clique has perfected on projects prior, but a number of the tracks also wander into realms that could be categorized as experimental when you view the group's musical catalog as a whole.
"Rakim in 88," a joint produced by Clique member D-Major, is a prime example of the group doing what they do best, with all three members flipping the script over a boom bap beat that rips a sample from A Tribe Called Quest's canonical record "Bonita Applebum." As Mic staked claimed on the group's vlog in January, the track features Major's best verse to date, and Relay and Mic come through with a clinic on flowetry as well. Other tracks on the project that seem sonically familiar to the group's formula are "Her Phone Died," as well as Relay's word play wonder "Midnight Rush."
Since '05, ran game like ball courts
Money was the motive, wasn't into fall sports
Posted on the corner, more routes than Stallworth
--- Relay - "Her Phone Died"

---
While the aforementioned tracks came across as familiar territory for the Delaware trio, a number of other joints stuck out as well, and for good reason. Tracks like the EP's intro jam "Michael Sam Jersey Sales," "The Channel Davis Interlude," and "298 Trafalgar Drive," all bring forth sounds that are entirely new for the Clique, yet they're what give the EP the legs to travel outside the boundaries of conventionality. One of the most notable additions to the Clique's repertoire is that of member Mic Anthony singing, a tactic that he claims came up unconsciously.
"I honestly didn't realize how much I was singing on the project until we started doing the final track list. After we released Greatest Show on Thirst in August, we just kept making music. Everyone is Dangerous wasn't a project at all. It wasn't until December that we realized we had a whole new project on our hands. We had a group of loose tracks that came together cohesively over time. I guess it all happened naturally."
Whether intentional or not, Mic's singing is a welcome addition to the Clique's clip, as it allows them to branch out to a strand of hip-hop that's becoming increasingly popular thanks to figureheads like Yeezy, Drake, and Childish Gambino. On the song "The Channel Davis Interlude," Mic laments about a chick that he bagged back in the day, weaving through the Tribe Beats production with a chorus that's sure to barricade itself in your head after only a few listens.

I was chillin' wit a pretty twenty-somethin' that night, said she got a man that can't give pipe... Damn, I miss my hookah. 
I was chillin' wit ya shorty in the backseat (backseat), called it quits, now she messin' with an athlete... Damn, I miss my hookah --- I need my hookah.
--- Mic Anthony - "The Channel Davis Interlude" ft. Frank Boy




The track also features verses from Relay and Cypher Clique frequent collaborator Frank Boy, and it's undoubtedly one of the EP's top tracks. In addition, "298 Trafaglar Drive," is another joint that features Mic mixing melodies and rhymes, a tactic that Mic says he will look to improve upon over the course of the next year.
" As an artist and as a group I just want to continue to get more experimental with the sound. I'm a fan of rappers that push the limits of the genre, so I definitely aspire to be one of those artists in time." As evidenced by the tracks mentioned above, Mic and his Cliquemates are progressing towards the next chapter of their musical journey as a unit, but thankfully with the assistance of some familiar faces. Tribe Beats, producer of former fire Clique jams "Good Money," as well as "I Feel Right," contributed three tracks on the project, and Erich, an artist on some of the Clique's earliest projects, appeared all over the EP as well. The combination of Tribe and Erich making appearances on the Clique's tracks is something that should be welcomed, as they further solidify the content that the group has found their footing on over the course of the past three years in particular.
"He enhances the swag of our group and he helps put the lifestyle I'm trying to portray into a better perspective that can be easily consumed and understood by our audience," says Mic of Erich. "The short stories were completely Erich's idea. He told me he was writing them so we decided to make it happen. No one else is doing it, so we definitely stand out."
As for Tribe, Mic acknowledged that the producer is his go to guy when the Clique is looking to tread in uncharted territory.
"When I record at Tribe's it's a whole different vibe. Everything is usually created from scratch. Sometimes we'll be locked in there for three days at time, with hundreds of bottles and different women coming through to inspire us," Mic added nonchalantly.
With Erich and Tribe teaming up with the Clique on this EP, that lifestyle that Mic mentioned is coming into a sharper focus with the track "Wake Up Now Money," and the EP's crowning achievement (according to ME), "Lit AF." Both tracks are produced by Tribe, and Mike's claims of swag are quite evident, especially on the latter. "Lit AF" begins as what sounds like a cuffing season anthem driven by soft piano strokes --- but quickly the listener is brought back to reality once Erich kicks off the vocals with a rather blunt "I'm petty and I'm rich as f--k." At it's core, "Lit AF" is a social commentary on the shallow relationships formed by members today's young generation, but on the surface its a banger that you're ears will beg you to continually revisit.





2014 is in the books, and with some major moves already being made in the new year, Cypher Clique is primed for big things over the course of the next 11 months. Everyone is Dangerous is valid proof that not only are the members of this Delaware collective getting better at the fundamentals that have delivered them to this point, but they're also navigating new territory for the first time, and with relative ease at that. All nine tracks on this EP render up points of interest, and it'll be interesting to see how the Clique continues to mold their sound and style with Summer and this year's Firefly Festival quickly approaching.

Firefly Music Festival 2015

So the poster for The Fire Fly Music Festival just leaked onto the internet last night... Somewhere in between Paul McCartney, Snoop Dogg, Kid Cudi, Charlie XCX, and DJ Mustard you see Cypher Clique on the poster... The same Cypher Clique niggas that used to get slandered by future heroine addicts in high school. The same Cypher Clique niggas that lost average looking girlfriends because they decided to make music instead of seeing Twilight movies.


I've been on my shit since 2007. YOU NEVER HAD A REAL DREAM OR GOAL! YOU NEVER HAD A PASSION! YOU NEVER WILL! DON'T QUESTION THE LANE OF A VISIONARY! STICK TO BEING MEDIOCRE AND LET THE DREAMERS SCULPT THE FUTURE!


No matter how much you accomplish people are always going to downplay the accolades. I'll probably be the only person you ever know personally that performs at Fire Fly. I'm definitely the first. This is history. I hope to see you out there as I make history. You were gonna go out there and trip off random drugs anyways... You might as well witness history while you put chemicals in your body.


I hope you kids see the poster and get inspired. Over the past 6 years I've been doubted by everyone. But none of the people that doubted were ever factors in the music. Ryan Young has been addicted to adderall since we were 14 so his opinion on my music never mattered. Somewhere between graduation and the 100th house party most of you lost your the vision... I never expected the bitches to see my vision. I call them bitches because they never saw the ambition/potential of a young man working towards something daily. Instead they suck off unemployed drug dealers and AWOL army men.

TWO YEARS AGO DUSTIN TOLD ME THAT I WOULD NEVER PERFORM AT FIREFLY... "FIRE FLY IS WAY TOO BIG OF AN EVENT FOR CYPHER CLIQUE TO GET ON THE BILL". I'M SLEEP BRUH. MOST OF YOU ARE JUST TOO SMALL MINDED TO EVER SEE THE REAL POSSIBILITIES.


5 years ago I drove to suburban Pennsylvania to perform in a show with this white kid named Mac Miller. I went by myself because my group members didn't want to take off from their part time jobs (they've gotten new part time jobs since then). I drove up to Pennsylvania by myself and performed in front of 3,000 people. SO WHY THE FUCK DOES ANYONE THINK THEIR OPINION MATTERS TO ME? If you've never been to a show your opinion matters about as much as black lives to white cops. I'm sleep on your whole existence.


Don't compare me to any other artists in this state. I've performed in the most hip-hop shows ever as far as Delaware artists goes. I never performed at Circles because I'm better than that. The only time I ever rapped in Milford is when I opened up for Diggy. I'll never perform at The Dover Urban Music Fest again. They didn't even have three mics for the most important hip-hop group in Delaware history. Google your name and then google "Cypher Clique". This local love is cool but there's a whole world to explore. I just live here.


If music ever felt like your side chic... I hope it never shows you love and you rot in a pool of mediocrity forever. I mean that from the bottom of my heart. While you were poppin acid and having sex with ugly people I was focused on a goal. My goal never changed. I NEVER FELL TO THE PRESSURES OF SOCIETY. I NEVER FELT LIKE I HAD TO JOIN THE MILITARY. I ALWAYS LOVED MUSIC MORE THAN YOU LOVE YOUR GIRLFRIEND. I ALWAYS LOVED MUSIC MORE THAN YOU LOVE YOUR LIFE.


In less than 5 years I managed to be on a festival with one of The Beatles... In less than 5 years you gave up on your dream and joined a government that hates black people.



Don't worry about me bro. Focus on your own problems. All of my problems are good problems. Like what am I going to wear on stage? Which one of my ten clothing sponsors should I give the honor of lacing me in new gear for my set? What am I going to say to Charlie XCX if we cross paths? I have a small squad of supporters/team players/dreamers/plugs. I'm sleep on most people I've met in the last 6 years. Yall came around because I had beer and bitches. That's cool but there was always way more going on. On June 18th, I'm going to perform at one of the largest music festivals on the east coast in my hometown and continue to do what I've been doing since 2007. Living the lifestyle I always wanted to live.

If you've ever been to a party at one of these addresses you owe me the favor of buying you and your boyfriend a ticket to see me perform in front of thousands of people at Fire Fly:

298 Trafalgar Drive Dover, DE
208 N. State Street Dover, DE
137 Hidden Creek Way Magnolia, DE


"On June 18th, Cypher Clique will become the first Delaware Hip-Hop act to ever perform at FireFly Music Fest in Dover, Delaware. This premiere music experience boasts of over 30,000 fans over a 4 day span. To celebrate this opportunity, Cypher Clique has decided to release a new project and short story entitled "Everyone Is Dangerous". This 9 track offering consists of production from the likes of D-Major, Tribe Beats, and Ali!. Head over to EveryoneIsDangerous.com and read the interactive novel that coincides with music from the project.


I am an inspiration.
I am one of the top 25 faces of Delaware.
and I am one of the greatest thinkers of my generation...
