A lot of MCs claim to be spreading knowledge, but for Nemesis Alpha (right) and Othello (center) of d_Cyphernauts the concept has a much deeper meaning. The duo are full time teachers. After meeting in 2000 when they found themselves teaching at the same school they instantly bonded over their love of Hip-Hop. Over the years Nemesis Alpha and Othello have not only recorded a plethora of music together, but they’ve also made it a point to provide stages for aspiring artists via their Enter The Cypher series of shows. Despite the duo now living in different states, Nemesis being in Waterbury, CT and Othello in Nyack, NY, the two still come together regularly to show what the combination of education and Hip-Hop can do if fused together properly. This week I’m sitting down with both of them to find out more about their music, their cause, and how kids really react to the images they’re seeing in mainstream Hip-Hop.
