It's been a long time coming for CyHi The Prynce. Despite being active behind the scenes and across multiple mixtapes, fans have waited years for the rapper's GOOD Music debut. On Friday, CyHi's first official LP No Dope On Sundays was released to the world, and from guest appearances to production, he's upped the stakes for what very much plays like a proper reintroduction. GOOD Music artists and affiliates like Kanye West, 2 Chainz, and Travis Scott make appearances, but on the title track, it's GOOD Music president Pusha T who lends his voice to the track.
The 6-minute opus changes directions a few times, as CyHi navigates the maximal, shape-shifting production with personal verses colored with clever wordplay. In the closing minute, Pusha enters on a drumless piano loop: "You don't need the drums, when you're talkin' what you know," he raps, before thanking CyHi for giving him the stripped down section of the beat for his "conversational" verse.
Quotable Lyrics:
Nah, I ain't a street n***a
Just a n***a in the street
Any other day than Sunday
I can get you what you need
I'm talking like a couple keys
Want a mil, come fuck with me
Pounds of kush, come hustle these
The cars we push is luxury
Oh I heard you want the lean
Now that's not my cup of tea
But I can pull a few strings
Let me work my puppetry
