| Cyhi The Prynce - Ivy League Club |
Someone not to sleep on is Cyhi The Prynce, singed to Kanye’s
G.O.O.D. Music label; the Georgia MC has been hard on his grind. Not letting
the haters get him down or distract him, he remains focused. What many don’t
know is that many artists get signed by Kanye West and are developed for years
before ever releasing a studio album. Label mate Big Sean was signed 5 years
before he released an album, either way Cyhi is putting out noteworthy mixtapes
and gearing up for this debut next year. In the meantime, here is his new
mixtape “Ivy League”.
Staying true to the theme, tracks relate to the overall
school theme. Songs like “Ivy league” and Honor Roll” provide a good start to
the project. “A-Town” gives you that Saturday College game feel as he recruits
Travis Porter and B.O.B for a town repping track. Cyhi does not let up,
following up with a hard hitting track “Slick”. Proving he does not need the
whole G.O.O.D Music camp on his tracks to stand on his one two.
Production is great on the mixtape and the beats don’t over
shadow or over stretch Cyhi’s flow. All seem to blend nearly perfect with each
other. On the Sade sampled track “Tool”, Cyhi provides a creative twist over
the “Smooth Operator” sample. The mixtape takes a minute for a smoke break with
Big K.R.I.T. and Yelawolf on “Drank & Smoke”. He keeps the same vibe
through the mixtape before ramping it back up for more street records like “Can’t
Stand Y’all” and party anthem “100 bottles” with Chris Brown & Big Sean. Then wrapping it up with the posse cut “Entourage”
shouting out his G.O.O.D. music crew.
Overall, Cyhi showcases his talent and why he deserves his
spot in the house that Kanye built. For sure to hold people over until Cruel
Summer arrives next month.
