Atlanta-rapparen CyHi The Prynce har under flera års tid bubblat bakom kulisserna utan att få sitt rättmätiga erkännande och genombrott. I samband med att han förra veckan släppte albumet “No Dope On Sundays” förklarar CyHi nu, för Hiphop DX, hur relationen till Kanye är och varför han tvingades lämna G.O.O.D. Music/ Def Jam.

“I had four deals on the table after I left Kanye and Def Jam. Kanye is family but everything that’s done with Kanye has to go through Def Jam so I’m over at Sony now. I did that situation over there. It took about a year, year and a half to finish it all up. It was never a breakdown with G.O.O.D. Music. It was the fact that I was signed to Akon prior to being signed to G.O.O.D. Music.”

“The thing about me was I had a situation at Def Jam already. They just didn’t like the music I was doing ‘cause I wasn’t doing trap. I was doing traditional Hip Hop and that was a little unorthodox for the city that I was coming from. If the artists from my city weren’t as successful as they were, then it would have been good for me to do what I did. But I think since trap rap was so prevalent, it was like ‘you gotta do this,’ and that’s just something I wasn’t adamant about doing the way that they wanted me to do it. So, they kinda fell back on me, I kinda fell back on them.”
