Cydel Charles Young[2] (born September 15, 1984),[2][3] known professionally as CyHi the Prynce (also referred to as CyHi da Prynce[4] or simply CyHi),[5][6] is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter from Stone Mountain, Georgia. He signed a major label recording contract with Akon's Konvict Muzik, in a joint venture with Def Jam Recordings in 2009. The following year, he gained mainstream attention for his guest appearance alongside Jay-Z, Pusha T, Swizz Beatz, and RZA on Kanye West's 2010 song "So Appalled" from his album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (2010). He was then credited with extensive songwriting work on West's further releases, resulting in five Grammy Award nominations for Best Rap Song, as well as one additional nomination for his work on Travis Scott's 2018 single "Sicko Mode."[7]

Young has released nine mixtapes, of which contain conscious or political themes discussing the history and social affairs of Black people in America. He parted ways with Def Jam in 2015 and signed with Sony Music to release his long-delayed debut studio album, No Dope on Sundays (2017); executive produced by West, it was met with critical praise and modestly entered the Billboard 200.
