CyHi The Prynce has received props from a number of his rap peers including Pusha T and 2 Chainz thanks to his impressive new On The Radar freestyle.
The former G.O.O.D. Music rapper stopped by the popular platform on Tuesday (May 21) to fire off some fresh bars and reassert his status as one of Hip Hopâs most unsung spitters.

âWhat would all these rappers sound like if I turned the well off?/ I could never fail, even if I fell off/ The feds will be at my door if I wrote a tell-all/ If I ainât worth the wait then your scale off,â he raps over a triumphant, Just Blaze-esque beat.
After a sudden beat switch to a smooth, Southern-fried soundbed reminiscent of ATLiens-era OutKast, CyHi delivers more slick rhymes like: âI was in the game, call it EA/ Still duckinâ the DA/ Since Pre-K, they hate to hear my name over the PA/ But you can hear me getting off the freeway.â

While sharing the freestyle on Instagram, CyHi put the game on notice while teasing a new album: âAnd When Im Finished Mixing This Album Itâs Faneto For You Rappers!!â
The lyrical display caught the attention of several rappers, with longtime collaborator Pusha T commenting: âMy brother blacks out everytime⊠[fire emoji].â

Fellow G.O.O.D. Music affiliate 2 Chainz added: âPop it champ,â while The Game chimed in with: âThe ghost,â referencing CyHiâs prolific songwriting rĂ©sumĂ©.
DJ Clark Kent also had high praise for the freestyle, writing: âFLAMES.â
The last fans heard from CyHi The Prynce was when he dropped EGOT the EP in 2022, which is a precursor to his forthcoming album, The Story of Mr. EGOT.
While that project doesnât yet have a release date, the Georgia native has been teasing it for some time. Itâll serve as the follow-up to his 2017 debut LP No Dope On Sundays, which boasted appearances from Kanye West, Travis Scott, ScHoolboy Q, Pusha T and 2 Chainz, among others.

CyHi previously made headlines in February for some extra curricular reasons.
Having spent years in the studio with marquee artists like Kanye West and Travis Scott, he used that experience to boldly speculate about Eminemâs creative process.
Appearing on Math Hoffaâs My Expert Opinion podcast, CyHi shared some thoughts about Slim Shady in a clip that began with him saying that, in his opinion, Eminem is a âtop fiveâ rapper.
âWith no ghostwriters,â interjected co-host Mecca, a comment that inspired CyHi to talk about the nature of inspiration.

âYou think he ainât have no ghostwriters?â CyHi asked. âMan, you ainât sitting around 12 n-ggas just fucking smoking blunts. Itâs called D12. Itâs called Proof. Itâs called all them n-ggas he grew up with.â
CyHi made clear, however, that he was not necessarily saying those people wrote bars for Eminem. Instead, he said that it was important for rappers to surround themselves with people who bring them âthoughts,â âideasâ and âexperiences.â

Without that, he said, âI wouldnât have nothing to rap about. Thatâs more important than actually making it rhyme, is having something to talk about. Because thereâs a lot of n-ggas who can just rhyme and donât be talking about shit.â
