KayCyy & Sign Crushes Motorist Join Forces To Drop “BRUISED” & “Never Wanna See You” As HIIBRYD

by

KayCyy is always bringing something refreshing to the hip-hop sphere but characterizing him as a rapper would be disingenuous. Honestly, we feel he fits the alternative mold more accurately. Due to him being more of a singer, he can really be placed into so many different soundscapes. Rap and R&B are his specialties, but we have seen him be excellent in more of a pop setting with a song like “My Jeans”, for example. Speaking of that track, it seems to be a single for an upcoming solo album, but not much is known. So, when we saw his name on two new cuts, “BRUISED” and “Never Wanna See You”, we got excited.

However, we then became slightly confused, as these are two songs from HIIBRYD. “BRUISED” and “Never Wanna See You” are instead releases under a new group for KayCyy. This is an endeavor between him and Irish singer/producer Liam McCay, aka, sign crushes motorist. Liam and KayCyy’s debut collaboration tape will be called SADDEST TRUTH and is expected to be out in October. Both tracks offer up some truly incredible production, which Liam has credits for, as well as some background singing on “Never Wanna See You”. Hopefully, when the album drops, we get to hear more vocals. KayCyy seems to be the lead singer of this group so far, and his performances are catchy and emotional at times. If we had to compare to the expansive production on both songs, we would say they are far better examples than what both VULTURES albums had to offer. Take that how you want, but we encourage you to give these a try. We are pretty excited for SADDEST TRUTH, now.

“BRUISED” & “Never Wanna See You – HIIBRYD, Sign Crushes Motorist, & KayCyy

Quotable Lyrics From “Never Wanna See You”:

That voice inside of my head
That keep on replaying everything that you said
Did you get happiness from the bread?
Did you save all the kids from the dark?
Staring in the moonlight, yеah
Did I hold all my silly remarks?

KayCyy, Toro Y Moi, & Weiland Are Emotionally Spent On “Hidden Faces”

by

KayCyy is one of the most exciting names in hip-hop and R&B right now in our opinion. He has so much potential to be one of the best hybrid stars once he eventually drops his rumored projects. According to Genius, the Kenya native has two offerings stashed away at the moment. There are a lot of rumors that he will have both out by this year, after previously teasing 2023 drop dates. It seems we inching closer and closer to the promised land after KayCyy recently put out “Hidden Faces.”

This single is currently only available on YouTube and follows up other tracks such as “My Jeans,” “MOTOWN” with BabyTron. For “Hidden Faces,” KayCyy taps Toro y Moi and Weiland for a somber ballad about falling out of love and feeling emotionally and physically alone. Each singer’s vocals are backed by piano keys and minimal angelic production overall. You can tell by the way KayCyy, Toro, and Weiland are delivering their lyrics that they are in true pain.

As we mentioned earlier, the “THANK GOD” contributor has two projects in the works, and Never Been So Sure looks to be his debut album. Potential features for this record include Toro and Weiland, Swae Lee, 070 Shake, and more. Then, the other offering, WHO IS KAYCYY? might be even more stacked with hopeful appearances from Westside Gunn, VIC MENSA, A$AP Rocky, and Kanye West. Neither have release dates confirmed, but whenever they arrive, we will be amped for the moment.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new single “Hidden Faces” by KayCyy, Toro y Moi, and Weiland? Is this one of his better songs as of late, why or why not?

Nothing changed mentally
Surely I’ve gone insane (Yeah)
Baby, please don’t say my name

Moreover, Joey has consistently pushed the boundaries of his artistry. He coincidentally dropped this song just one day before his birthday. He teased the song earlier this week, however, fans were on the fence about it initially. The rapper responded via Twitter with a message of his own. “Feels good to be allowed to grow. I never needed permission but thanks anyway guys. New sounds all ‘24…. Whether you like it or not.” This is due to the fact that he’s using more auto-tune on it.

Joey Bada$$ Teases Song With KayCyy Dropping Soon, Fans Are Not Loving It, Rapper Responds

by

Joey Bada$$ will always be one of those artists that so many people want to hear from. That is because he is a top-tier writer, picks great beats, and brings so much passion to what he creates. Additionally, he is always trying new things. That can be a double-edged sword for a lot of people, however. Change can be a scary thing, even for the artist. But, Joey is embracing that challenge with his upcoming single. Yes, the 28-year-old is finally coming out with some new solo material.

According to numerous sources, including AllHipHop, Joey is teaming up with the very underrated KayCyy for “Passports & Suitcases.” It is coming this Friday, January 19, coincidentally one day before the New York spitter’s birthday. He teased the song and it found him going in his melodic bag. This is not something entirely out of the blue, but he is using more auto-tune on it. While it sounds like a vibe, fans are on the fence about it.

Joey Bada$$ Is Sticking To His Guns

A majority of Joey’s fans are hardcore hip-hop heads and they despise when he strays away from that. One person writes, “Yeah but auto-tune is always going to be s*** no matter how old you get.” Another goes, “[The f***] is happening!? Where [the f***] is Joey?! Where’s the Hip-Hop?” Joey Bada$$ saw all of the negativity and nicely put down the haters. “Feels good to be allowed to grow. I never needed permission but thanks anyway guys. New sounds all ‘24…. Whether you like it or not [winky face emoji].”

What are your thoughts on this snippet from Joey Bada$$’s upcoming single with KayCyy “Passports & Suitcases?” Do you like it when he goes into his melodic bag, why or why not? Are fans being too critical of the direction that he is going in? Will Joey drop an album this year? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

KayCyy And Lancey Foux’s “SLOWWW DIVINNGG” Has Plenty Of Untapped Potential

by

Kenyan singer and rapper KayCyy is continuing his meteoric rise in the industry. His big placements on records like UTOPIA have gotten him more into the public eye. If you were paying attention to the headlines surrounding Travis Scott’s album, one of them was KayCyy’s frustrations with not being credited as a feature on “THANK GOD.” The features were revealed after the record was out for a couple of weeks and his name was not attached to it.

That is when he took to social media to call out the Texas rapper, making it known he was not just a background singer. He dropped “My Jeans” in response to him and that blew up. However, we agree with him that he possesses tons of talent. If you want an introduction to his music, check out “THE SUN” with production from Gesaffelstein, who has worked with The Weeknd. Now, he is back with a Soundcloud exclusive with London drill rapper and singer, Lancey Foux.

Listen To “SLOWWW DIVINNGG” By KayCyy And Lancey Foux

“SLOWWW DIVINNGG” feels more like a snippet with its scant runtime of just 1:45. Additionally, the title includes “LOOP” which makes it feel even more unfinished. There is a lot to like about what is on this record, though. Vocally, Foux and KayCyy are bringing an atmospheric tone to the track. It truly feels like you are sinking, in a good way (if that is possible). The instrumental is also beautiful, but it feels like the beat is getting ready to drop and it never does. Hopefully, there is a longer version that these two have in the vault, and it gets released to DSPs.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new song by KayCyy and Lancey Foux, “SLOWWW DIVINNGG?” Does this track feel more like a snippet or structured song? Are both of these artists severely underrated? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this.

Lights blind me, I don’t care, I’ll be straight

Doechii Leads Off The 2022 ‘XXL’ Freshman Cypher With Saucy Santana, KayCyy, And SoFaygo

by

The 2022 XXL Freshman Cypher has arrived. The first round consists of Doechii, SoFaygo, KayCyy, and Saucy Santana, with a beat produced by Wheezy. Obviously, your mileage may vary, but the clear standout here is Saucy Santana, who approaches this year’s Cypher like he has something to prove, delivering a rapid-fire verse with a hand on his hip like he’s already tired of the inevitable Twitter comments.

Members of this year’s class included the above-mentioned names, as well as Babyface Ray, Babytron, Big30, Big Scarr, Cochise, Kali, KenTheMan, and Nardo Wick. It’ll be interesting to see how this group is divided up between the next two potential Cypher videos. Will the Detroiters Babytron and Babyface Ray be split up? What about the two Memphis upstarts, Big30 and Big Scarr? Meanwhile, standouts in the standalone freestyles included Doechii, Saucy Santana, and Nardo Wick, so that last name will certainly be one to watch out for when he shows off his skills alongside his classmates.

2022’s Freshmen have had a standout year so far, with Doechii delivering an explosive performance of her songs “Crazy” and “Persuasive” at the 2022 BET Awards and the Danny Brown-cosigned Saucy Santana securing a Beyonce sample on his song of the summer contender, “Booty.”

Watch the first 2022 XXL Freshman Cypher above.
