Who Is Cyhi The Prynce?
Cydel Young (born September 15, 1984),[1] better known by his stage name CyHi The Prynce (sometimes stylized as CyHi Da Prynce), is an American hip hop recording artist from Stone Mountain, Georgia. He is signed to Akon's Konvict Muzik label, also Bu Thiam's BuVision label, Kanye West's GOOD Music label and Def Jam Recordings. Cyhi has made appearances on Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and has released five mixtapes, with the latest being Ivy League Club.
Growing up in Georgia, Cydel played various sports including football, basketball, and track and field, in addition to singing in school choirs and participating in school plays and dances. He was raised Baptist by strict parents, who didn't allow him to listen to rap music as a youth. However, Young cites his parents' methods as a foundation upon which he could build himself in character.
Cyhi first gained major buzz in 2010 when he received a co-sign from Kanye West. He reports that the singer Beyoncé, a friend of West and the wife of his mentor, Jay-Z, convinced Kanye to sign him to the rapper/producer's GOOD Music label. This culminated in Cydel's inclusion on the popular single to Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, "So Appalled" as well as several tracks from West's GOOD Fridays series.
His album Hardway Musical, which was announced on his Jack of All Trades mixtape is due out in 2012. He has already recorded with Royal Flush II producer CPK, and plans to work further with previous collaborators the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, No I.D. and Kanye West, as well as DJ Toomp, The Alchemist and Just Blaze.
Cyhi the Prynce appeared on G.O.O.D. Music's collaborative album, Cruel Summer, released September 18, 2012. Cyhi is featured on two tracks, including: "The Morning," along with Raekwon, Common, 2 Chainz, Kid Cudi, and D'Banj, and "Sin City," along with John Legend, Teyana Taylor, Malik Yusef, and Travis Scott. On January 29, 2013 he will release his newest mixtape Ivy League: Kick Back.
