Ciph Barker is a Dutch hip-hop artist from Zoetermeer, Netherlands.

As an emcee, Ciph spits in both English and Dutch with equal devotion to his craft. After his initial introduction to the “scene” with his Lingwistikz crew (with Joe Banz and Beat Butcha). Ciph joined the SuperCharger Records ranks, dropping a couple tracks on the critically aclaimed “Campaign” project. He payed his dues in the lab working his ass off and doing shows throughout Europe with MOD the Black Marvel and the SuperCharger family for a couple of years before dropping his Zoominati guerilla album in 2006. The last couple years he’s been putting in a lot of work as a producer chizzeling away at his style before putting out his next projects.

As a producer, he is part of Supercharger’s infamous Godz Wrath production team. USA heavyweights such as Killah Priest Hell Razah, Immortal Technique, Canibus and Keith Murray have laced verses over his production as well as Dutch artists like Kain Slim, Steen, Lexcouper, & Dosprod (EcktuhEcktuh), MP & Ricks (ROTTZ ).

Treading beyond his Hip-Hop roots Ciph also dabbles in different types of music, or to quote: “Right now, I’m just making whatever the fuck I want to make whenever I want to make it, if it feels good doing it I’m doing it. If I go outside Hip-Hop I want to make that goosebump type of shit that I would want to sample if I heard it, dusty ass 70′s soul or prog. rock, I don’t give a fuck as long as its sick” .
