Seven is regarded by many to be the number that symbolizes completion and if you're of that belief, CyHi The Prynce's journey throughout the record industry may be viewed as less of a burden and more of a blessing in disguise. The Atlanta native first got his big break upon signing to Akon's Konvict Muzik imprint, but it wouldn't be until after Kanye West gave CyHi his coveted cosign and tapped him to be included in his G.O.O.D. Friday series—culminating in an appearance on Yeezy's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy album—as well as an offer to join G.O.O.D. Music as an artist.

The move would be a high-profile one and put CyHi on the radar of tastemakers and critics alike, leading to the rapper being selected as part of the 2011 XXL Freshman class. The rapper followed in the footsteps of fellow G.O.O.D. Music artists Kid Cudi and Big Sean, both of whom would enjoy careers as platinum-selling artists. CyHi, on the other hand, would bide his time with a string of mixtape releases while lending his pen to Kanye West projects like Yeezus and The Life of Pablo. However, a lack of a release date for his debut album would leave the rapper's career at a standstill.

Now, after years of false starts, CyHi The Prynce's debut album, No Dope on Sundays, has been released and all it requires is a quick listen to realize the project may be overdue, but is more than worth the wait. Pulling out all the stops, with guest appearances by the likes of Kanye West, Pusha T, Schoolboy Q, Travis Scott, 2 Chainz, Jagged Edge, BJ the Chicago Kid, Estelle and Ernestine Johnson, CyHi delivers a riveting debut with No Dope on Sundays, an album that is indicative of its author's skill as a songwriter and his promise as a soloist.

  • "Amen (Intro)"

    CyHi The Prynce

    "From where the gangstas die young and the rats die faster/So when my shooter spread, this Mac lives shatter/Ridin' 'round like, 'Who gives a fuck if Black Lives Matter?'/Wash the blood off his hands then get baptized after/I'm the new testament, the last five chapters/And God said He would come back by rapture"

  • "Amen (Intro)

    CyHi The Prynce

    "The story of a journeyer, who made it out the wilderness/No feelings ’cause I met a lot of villains on my pilgrimage/God told me, 'Son, never settle like the pilgrims did'/So I bought a convertible, I don't know where the ceiling is/I'm here to restore the pillages of villages/I brought enough food for thought to feed a million kids"
