A cypher in rap culture refers to several people rapping one after another to the same beat and maintaining a flow. This podcast uses the concept of a rap cypher to discuss issues of race, faith, social justice, inequality, family and culture. Each cypher is an ongoing conversation led by Jason Esters and Richard M. Smith, two Black men of faith who are academics and homeschooling fathers. The point is not to battle each other, but instead communicate in such a way that the flow goes unbroken, at times including new voices in the cypher to offer fresh insights and further the discussion.
