News Man Weekly: Ryan James on Cypher City Hip Hop fest, World Cup fever, downtown Mansfield living and more!

This week on News Man Weekly, Carl, Zac and Hayden welcome resident soccer expert Adam "Doc" Fox into the studio for a lively World Cup discussion. We talk about knockout stage scenarios and debate whether this year's U.S. Men's National Team has what it takes to make the deepest tournament run in program history. We also catch up on another busy week of local news, including a $5 million boost for the Downtown Forward redevelopment project.  Later, we sit down with Ryan James -- who is behind the Cypher City Hip Hop Festival, returning July 25 to the Richland County Fairgrounds. He talks about how the festival has grown into one of the region's premier celebrations of hip hop culture, what's new this year, why Mansfield's music scene continues to evolve and which local artists deserve a spot on your playlist. Whether you're a longtime fan or simply curious about the scene, this conversation offers a fresh look at one of Richland County's most unique annual events.
