ISSA Rap-Cypher TING

ISSA TING presents Cape Town’s biggest Hip-Hop Rap Cypher competition — a night dedicated to raw bars, freestyle energy, and the spirit of hip-hop culture.

We’re calling on the city’s sharpest lyricists to step into the cypher and prove their skill. The winning MC will walk away with R5 000 in prize money and the title of ISSA Rap-Cypher Champion.

Think you’ve got what it takes?

To enter the competition, submit a short-form video of yourself free-styling, along with your artist name and instagram handle to:

Our official cypher selection will be announced on Monday, 20 April at 17:00hrs.

Throughout the night, enjoy a curated line-up of Hip-Hop, Trap, and UK Grime, bringing together Cape Town’s underground talent for an electric celebration of rap culture.
