In the fourth and final episode, we follow the story of freestyler/music journalist Chaz Kangas

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. 

Or "craft" as cypher member Chaz Kangas would like to say. "Art in a lot of ways is subject," he explains, "but with a craft you are trying to create the same sort of reaction with people." To him, it's more about the journey and technique of freestyling. Music journalist by day and rapper by night, the Minnesota-transplant has been living in New York for 11 years, soaking up the culture and educating others on the history of hip hop.

In the fourth and final installment of Cypher Sessions, we learn more about the Midwesterner and gain some insight into the cypher as a whole. Watch the episode below.
