September 27. We’re back in the circle. Soul Food Cypher returns to CreateATL for another night of off-the-top freestyles, live beats, Wordplay, and the community that keeps Atlanta hip-hop moving.

@joestu94 always has a story to tell, usually from a perspective you didn’t see coming. From growing up around hip-hop in the Bronx to finding his own voice through storytelling, humor, and conscious bars, Joe’s relationship with the culture runs deep. He’s become part of the fabric of Soul Food Cypher and a reminder of what happens when experience meets the freedom of the circle. Get to know Joe Stu and more of the SFC family at soulfoodcypher.com

Meet Mike the Zukeeper @mikethezukeeper For ZU, hip-hop is more than performance. It’s a space for honesty, faith, healing, and showing up exactly as you are. At Soul Food Cypher, he found a community where that vulnerability was met with love. One of his most powerful Wordplay moments came when he stepped into the circle during a difficult season and shared his truth—walking away not only as the winner, but with a deeper understanding of the power of his voice. “Your music is your medicine. And it’s our medicine too.” Read his full SFC Original at soulfoodcypher.com. #SoulFoodCypher #SFCOriginals #AtlantaHipHop #EverybodyEats

Chicago has bars! 🎤🔥 And we are not just talking about lyricism. We are talking about the community, the culture, and the pure love we felt during our recent trip to the Windy City. This entire experience was made possible by The Kindle Project (kindleproject) . Huge gratitude to them for funding this travel and bringing two of their grantees, Soul Food Cypher and Circles and Ciphers, together to build and connect. We kicked things off by stopping by Circles and Ciphers (@circles_ciphers) to participate in one of their Cypher Circles. Seeing their restorative justice work in person was powerful, using beats, rhymes, and Hip Hop to steer youth toward their highest potential. We also loved checking out their movie premiere on Friday night. Be sure to check out their "Cut The Mic series" on Youtube! Next up, we pulled up to @groundwaveshiphop lead by @murs316 to show love and soak in the local energy. Getting to spread the cypher spirit inside and out while witnessing some of the most phenomenal grassroots talent in Chicago was beautiful. Then we hosted a cypher at the beautiful Principal Barbershop (@principlebarbers) on the West Side. We brought MCs from all over the city to step into the circle for our signature SFC segments. The energy was incredible because we got to bridge different generations of Chicago Hip Hop in one building. Much love to @djseandoe for Djing the cypher, connecting so many dots in the city, and plugging us with the shop. Massive love to all the MCs @47indiglo @KeithDaMaestro @edgaralantest @jaheoodsart @cash.klaay @anamlimusic @nnansense @nm.veo2k @verbtheaction @cooloutchris @markostats To top it all off, the love followed us all the way back to Atlanta. As soon as we touched down at Hartsfield Jackson Airport, we walked into the baggage claim and saw a massive portrait of our Cypher from last year, captured by Dustin Chambers (@dustchambers ). We had to stop and take a photo! 📸 Thank you Chi for welcoming us... We are already looking forward to bringing the Cypher back to your city very soon. #SoulFoodCypher #CirclesAndCiphers #KindleProject #ChicagoHipHop #HartsfieldJackson #FreestyleCommunity #RestorativeJustice #NiceBars
