Aside from recording for many Hip-Hop albums and engaging in cyphers, Bjorn spent several years rocking within the poetry scene, further honing his craft and character as a wordsman.
In 2013 he was invited to be part of Legendary Cyphers by LC founder Majesty. Bjorn has been a part of the collective ever since, including a performance with the group at a SUNY Geneseo for the 5th Annual Hip-Hop Symposium.
