In the third episode, we follow the story of female emcee Lex Rush.
It's 8pm on a Friday night, and New York City's Union Square is bustling. Aside from the standard tourists and guitar-wielding street performers, a group congregates to show off its rhyme skills. This is Legendary Cyphers, and its ever-growing list of members spend their Friday nights free-styling and celebrating the art of hip hop.
In episode three, we learn more about Lex Rush, a Queens native who works as a restaurant publicist by day and rapper by night. "I think the most fun part of hip hop is doing it with other people," she explains, "I like it when people just sort of riff and build on what other people are doing."
