Who the heck is this? I have no clue. Nor do I remember how I came across this album, as I can find no reference to it anywhere. Cypher does have another EP with producer Freddie Joachim from 2006 which is still floating around, but this appears to be his first solo work, very underground if the album art is any indication.
I do remember enjoying this album a lot. The production is smooth, head-nodic samples and hard hitting drums, with clever rhymes and a refreshing style.
I'd love to know if this guys got anything else out there besides these two EPs. Discogs has a 12" from him, but aside from a feature or two that's all it appears he made. Anyone know anything? Whether you do or you don't, I expect you'll enjoy his self titled The Cypher Optics EP.
Thanks for listening, and once again stay safe out there.
This was supposed to post yesterday morning, I'm positive I scheduled it that way. So this is Friday's post, we'll be back Wednesday, sorry for the wait!
