Cyhi The Prynce’s No Dope on Sundays features raw, relentless rap, unencumbered by the modern plague of overproduction.

Instead, this solo debut album offers simple, throwback beats with no distracting flourishes; each provides nothing but the best tempos for his endless flow of words. Plus, the rhythms of these tempos actually vary, ranging from laid back to lit, deviating from today’s overly-popular, overly-prevalent, and overly-monotonous trap structure.

With catchy hooks to boot, No Dope on Sundays feels like endearingly homegrown, old school hip hop, so refreshing given electronic music’s recent takeover of the rap game.
