It took longer than expected but CyHi The Prynce has finally released his debut album, No Dope On Sundays.
The acclaimed lyricist steps out of the shadows of the G.O.O.D. Music roster and exits the mixtape circuit with this 15-track LP. Kanye West, Pusha T, 2 Chainz, Travis Scott and ScHoolboy Q are some of the notable guests contributing to CyHi’s first album.
Check out the stream, cover art and tracklist for CyHi’s No Dope On Sundays below.

[UPDATE: Listen to it here via NPR’s advance stream.]
During a recent appearance on Sway In The Morning, CyHi explained the album’s concept.
“There’s only two to three songs on my album that’s Sunday,” he said. “All the rest of them is dope boy shit. I want to show them [kids] how to overcome different things. It’s talking about single parent mothers, abortions, cancer, shootouts, fist fights, my partner going to jail, people getting killed. I’m kinda just telling the week of the average inner city kid or young man that’s coming up in America. Showing them I went through the same thing they went through and overcame these things to a higher spiritual being.”
In 2010, CyHi appeared on West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy shortly after signing to his G.O.O.D. Music imprint. The Grammy Award-nominated songwriter went on to earn the prestigious BMI Award for co-writing Rihanna’s 2015 single, “FourFiveSeconds” featuring Yeezy and former Beatle Paul McCartney.
No Dope On Sundays is expected to arrive November 17.

is this a Cyhi album or a new Good Music album? the fuck is this bruh? dude aint never dropped an LP and when he does its all features.
Shut your pie hole. All features? Idiots just rant to rant these days. I’m glad it’s finally dropping. Don’t cop it if you’re so gung ho about the features. He won’t lose any sleep…foh
its a whole album full of features. youre not telling me otherwise. fuck outta here
So 9 out of 15 is a whole album full of features now? This ain’t a Game album.
using basic fucking mathematical knowledge, we can gather that 9 would round up closer to 15, meaning that more than half the album being features means that its an album full of features fam.
Okay, at this point, either you’re trolling or your brain is full of stupid fam.
mannnn im at work bored as fuck, you know how that shit goes
It looks like 4 features are rappers, the rest are hooks. I mean you think Jagged Edge is rapping on this? FOH. I’ll reserve judgement on the album until I actually hear it.
Lmao, bruv why you trying to be logical with this functional illiterate???
hopefully most are just singing the hook
6 w/o any features, not to mention four of ft are nom rappers wich are most likely hooks and im not even counting travis in that. That is pretty typical
Executive produced by the GOAT producer. A dope rapper with dope features. Where’s the love?
All y’all dumb! This album is chock-full of featured left and right! Look at the fucking track list you dumbfucks! It has more fucking features than Macklemore’s album and all of Game’s albums combined! Cyhi might as well make this a fucking compilation album with his bitch ass! If you down with Cyhi then fuck your too!
idk the game had some killer features on his albums. a lot of them too
It’s about thot damn time!!!!!!!!!!! Yaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!
Album Starts Out Really Good, Fades In The Middle And Then Picks Back Up Again Towards The End. 3.5 Out 5 In My Opinion
The album was alright, six nailed it to a tee. The trap influence could have been avoided (dat side is hella wack), God bless your heart if my fav
Has more features than a DJ Khaled album. Fuck this bitch boy Cyhi and this shitty compilation album.
Cyhi fucked his bitch
No Dope On Sundays is the album that could have been. It starts incredible, but the trap influences are way too overbearing for this album. The trap songs are weaker in lyrical content, instrumentation, message, and everything else. Get rid of the water sprinkler rapidity hi-hats for crying out loud. I feel that if he waited so long to be able to drop his album he definitely should not have wack features like 2Chains (among others)! I was hoping for more “Black History Project” Cy but this trap record was a let down. More Sundays, less dope.
Ask yourself where Cyhi is from? Sick of you dumb bastards! You think he’s not culturally influenced by where its from?(hence the trap beats and 2Chainz feature) He also made it a point not to be too preachy with a concept like this one. The ones he’s tryna reach wont hear him if he isn’t speaking their language. No matter how strong he is lyrically in order to convey his message in 2017 he did what he had to do to even put this album on some folks radar…or even get it out on a label like DEF JAM IN 2017! I haven’t even heard the album yet and figured that out. You people are stupid and nobody’s putting out an album to solely please you and the shit you care about. Go find an new underground rapper or better yet Talib just dropped his new shit…Oh yeah, Dat Side is trash
It’s not even that trap, chill..
mfs are b!tchin before they even hear the album. shut yo in need of attention as$es the fuk up! YALL PROBABLY WON’T BUY IT ANYWAY but then praise Kanye later? FAKE MFS…. Cyhi has given damn near 2,000+ bars in the past year alone just off freestyles.. pull some money out or shut ya acne face lol
