CyHi The Prynce - Royal Flush 2

Cyhi The Prynce – Royal Flush 2 Review

XXL Freshman Cyhi The Prince recently released his highly anticipated third Mixtape titled “Royal Flush 2” Cyhi has made a name for himself and created buzz for himself thanks to his freestyling talents and clever lyricism. Although, this 20 song project showed that Cyhi was able to put stronger meaning into his work, something that was not much apparent in his last two tapes. Cyhi is giving the message that he has the capability to get huge amounts of females and he can treat them favourably, unfortunately the tape shows that Cyhi simply can’t find anybody that meets his standards. This was very apparent on his song “New Girl” which was actually collaboration with mainstream artist Trey Songz. Another wonderful song was “Made Who I am” which was a look back at his past and showed appreciation toward his fans. It was safe to say that Cyhi had amazing wordplay on the Royal Flush but on the Royal Flush 2 the Atlanta resident brought his metaphors to a whole new level. The album was very well produced and had wonderful samples such as in the song Bulletproof. Some of the appearances on the album were from Yelawolf, Pill, Pusha T and B.O.B and Big Sean. One week aspect of the Mixtape is that Cyhi is unable to create strong hook’s and depends on his producers, other artists and even auto-tune such as in the song End Of the Night which I found was originally weak but once again his powerful lyrics salvaged the track to make it respectable.

Final Analysis:

Favourite Song: Sunday Morning

Beats/Production: 8/10 (Cyhi worked with different producers who did a great job although the style of beats changed too abruptly at moments.)

Lyrics: 9/10

Originality: 8/10 (A few too many songs about “bitches” but still amazing)

Meaning: 7/10

Final Rating: 8/10 A Great Mixtape for all Hip Hop Fans!
