Cydel Young^[1] also known as CyHi The Prynce (referred to as Prynce CyHi or CyHi Da Prynce), born September 15, 1984^[1] is an American rap artist from Stone Mountain,^[2] Atlanta.^[3] He is signed to Kanye West's GOOD Music Label and Def Jam Recordings.^[4][5] Cyhi has made appearances on Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and has released five mixtapes, with the latest being Jack Of All Trades.

Early life

Growing up, Cydel played various sports including football, basketball, and track and field, in addition to singing in school choirs and participating in school plays and dances. He was raised Baptist by strict parents, who didn't allow him to listen to rap music until he was 12 years of age. However, Young cites his parents' methods as a foundation upon which he could build himself in character.

Career

Cyhi first gained major buzz in 2010 when he received a cosign from Kanye West.^[6][7] He reports that the singer Beyonce, a friend of West and the wife of his mentor, Jay-Z, convinced Kanye to sign him to the rapper/producer's G.O.O.D. Music label.^[8] This culminated in Cydel's inclusion on the popular single to Kanye's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, "So Appalled," as well as several tracks from West's G.O.O.D. Fridays series.

His album Hardway Musical which was announce on his jack of all trades mixtape is due out late 2011. He has already recorded with Royal Flush II producer CPK, and plans to work further with previous collaborators the J.U.S.T.I.C.E.
