Cipher Zone is dedicated to showcasing underground hip hop and will regularly be featuring local artists and promoting community events. With its regional focus, a major component of the show is to connect the “underground railroad” between Madison, Minneapolis, Chicago, and Milwaukee. The Cipher Zone collective is currently looking for new members to join its crew as hosts and/or engineers. Youth and adults - DJs, rappers, poets, fans - this is your chance to get your voice and your music catalog heard by thousands each week! No previous radio experience is necessary. Youth Speaks Wisconsin will host an orientation and training later this fall.
