Cyhi the Prince's new music video "Long Damn Time" offers insight into what actually goes down when a rapper hits the studio. Joined by producer Jonathan Hay at Atlanta's Patchwerk Recordings, Cyhi spends a lot of time of writing on the pad, pacing, looking out the window ruminating, reckoning with the beat. Such is the life of a writer.
Eventually, he hops in the booth. The beat is sunny, the outlook is auspicious. The track features 14-year-old Ana on the hook, alongside Lil JSean and Aesja from Houston.
Watch "Long Damn Time" and wish Cyhi a happy 32nd birthday on social media.
