G.O.O.D Music's CyHi The Prynce is getting plenty of respect placed on his name this weekend. New speculation has developed about the hip-hop veteran playing a key - if not vital - role in rap star Travis Scott's hit records including 2018's "Sicko Mode" single.
CyHi The Prynce’s Travis Scott Connection
According to reports, social media has erupted this weekend with reference tracks connecting CyHi to Scott’s unforgettable tunes. Along with “Sicko Mode” CyHi is also getting linked to Scott’s “Coffee Bean” anthem.
On Saturday, a few songs performed by CyHi The Prynce for Travis including the rapper-producer’s biggest hit ‘SICKO MODE’ (feat. Drake) and ‘COFFEE BEAN’ landed online out of nowhere. In the tracks, you can hear the G.O.O.D Music signed artist rapping the same lines that Travis can he heard performing on the final versions of those records. (Hip Hop N More)
High-Key Details
Over the past few hours, social media has unloaded on Travis Scott. People have lit him up for allegedly not taking responsibility and penning his biggest hits.
Wait, There’s More
A couple years ago, Prynce talked about his involvement in working with Scott on his Astroworld album. CyHi also discussed how hip-hop artists need bigger presences in the studio when trying to compete with Billboard chart toppers.
“Once you put out a rap album and you’re getting 50, 60, 100 grand a show and you’re this household name, the only next level to go is to compete with Adele and Sam Smith and whatever gospel choir or alternative rock group is up for Album of the Yea. Those guys aren’t in there by theyself. It’s 30, 40 people–you got trumpet players, lyricists, writers. … We’re starting to treat rap like that, like it has to be that important. But [knowing] what minds to put into the room is what makes you a great producer. Instead of just having your homeboys from the crib that’s just in there smoking weed, chilling, playing video games, you’d rather put up a flight for a guy like me, that’s going to make sure the sh*t sounds dope.” (Complex)
Before You Go
In early August, Travis Scott’s Astroworld reached its two-year anniversary. The project features a slew of standout records and unforgettable guest features.
The album’s promo alone deserved its own soundtrack. In preparation for its release, Travis put out an unforgettable trailer.
There’s no way anyone doesn’t know at least six bars off “Sicko Mode” by this point. The Swae Lee and Drake–featured anthem easily turned into an instant classic when the LP dropped.
Travis gave Atlanta rapper Gunna a major look on their “Yosemite” collaboration. The music video also impressed with some serious visuals and eye-opening cinematic action.
Scott waited months before putting out the visual treatment to his “Can’t Say” anthem but it was worth the wait.
Scott set tones for the entire album’s vibes with his “Stop Trying To Be God” banger.
