“Arunachal Cypher - The Indigenous Flows” is a visionary project led by Atod Bayor, where rappers from diverse tribes across Arunachal Pradesh unite, each rapping in their native language. By blending rap with traditional folk elements, the project aims to revive endangered languages, celebrate cultural heritage, and inspire unity, empowering youth to reconnect with their roots in a modern yet tradition-rooted way.

Note: - "Arunachal Cypher - The Indigenous Flows" was initially envisioned to feature rappers from all tribes in Arunachal Pradesh. However, due to budget constraints and the difficulty of reaching out to fluent native-language rappers, not all tribes could be represented. Despite these challenges, Atod hopes future efforts will broaden this vision, bringing fuller representation to celebrate the state’s rich diversity.
