It’s Thursday night (4/7/11) and for the first time I’m about to check out a “cypher” session in downtown Frederick. While this is a first time experience for me, it’s common business for Blinding Sun Records, Frederick’s only locally owned and focused record store that has been hosting impromptu Hip-hop cypher sessions for about six months now on Thursday nights. The crowd is a little smaller than normal on this particular Thursday night, but the participants are nonetheless focused and actively participating in a lively circle fueled by local DJ Minus Nine. At the close of the evenings cypher I caught up with co-organizers Jamie Waller, co-owner of Blinding Sun Records and Frederick’s own Matt Rempe aka DJ Minus Nine and got the nitty-gritty on creating a positive local Hip-hop scene, Blinding Sun Records, and collecting vinyl. Check out the interview below and remember Record Store Day is right around the corner!
