Autocefalo
Definition
Autocefalo (adj.): In hip-hop and street linguistics, refers to being fully independent and self-governing, like an artist or crew running their own empire without major label oversight or external control. Borrowed from 'autocephalous' (self-headed church), it reps ultimate boss status, no middlemen, pure autonomy in the grind.
