CyHi ‘EGOT the EP’ Album is the much-anticipated release from the six-time GRAMMY-nominated artist and pen behind some of your favorites. Today, six-time Grammy-nominated performing artist CyHi (formerly CyHi The Prynce) released his long-awaited 4-song project, EGOT the EP, via his new venture E.G.O.T Records distributed via EMPIRE.
After laying one of the best L.A. Leakers Freestyle (released on Wednesday), CyHi returns to remind the culture why he’s one of the most influential writers and lyricists of the 21st century. The 4-song offering is CyHI’s first official release in nearly 5-years.
The EP features guest appearances from fellow ATL-iens Jacquees, Big Bank Black and newcomer Baby Rose, as well as production from Edsclusive (Juice Wrld, Lil Wayne, Dj Khaled, Jay Z, Big Sean, Kendrick Lamar), Bongo ByTheWay (Ty Dolla $ign, Roddy Ricch, Pop Smoke, Jasmine Sullivan), Go Grizzly (Lil Wayne, Gucci Mane, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Wale, NBA Young Boy, O.T. Genasis, 2 Chainz), Tane Runo (Nicki Minaj, Travis Scott, Coi Leray) and more.
EGOT the EP includes one song from each section – EMMY, GRAMMY, OSCAR, TONY – giving fans a smattering of what to expect on his forthcoming project, The Story Of EGOT, out this summer. EGOT the EP is available everywhere now.
The EP comes behind the release of the single, “Tears” ft. Jacquees. On the track, Cyhi raps about loss in various forms, whether it be of loved ones or the losses taken as he’s navigated his career over the years. “We all got partners who will slide if we lift a finger. But why we still gotta be street to show the money didn’t change us,”
Cyhi delivers the poignant line on his second verse. CyHi’s delivery is true to his signature slick lyricism and top-tier wordplay, while Jacquees’ croons over the hook giving the track his signature touch.
The forthcoming project, The Story Of EGOT, is CyHi’s sonic interpretation of an E.G.O.T Award – the pinnacle of honorary achievement as an entertainer.
CyHi intends to put his creativity on full display with his sophomore offering. “I’m way more diverse than just a writer and rapper, Cyhi says while speaking on the new album. “I wanted to be able to fully spread my wings and showcase all my talents in one project. I believe this project is E.G.O.T worthy. Its creativity, emotion and star-studded lineup is unmatched.”
With the release of his new project, CyHi intends to step from the writing room to embrace his true form as a multidimensional performer and entertainer.
