Black Tie Beach Party

Return of the Cypher
Some of SF's best local beatboxers and emcees get freestyling at this weekly late night hip-hop jam. DJs and a live band lay down the beats for a spontaneous outpouring of raps and rhymes with breakdancers occasionally taking over the crowded stage.
Every Sunday, 9 p.m.-close at Boom Room Room, 1601 Fillmore St., S.F. Free; visit bit.ly/rotcypher.
