Biography
Originally from the Far Rockaway neighborhood of Queens, New York, Cy moved to North Carolina before relocating in the D.C. area. He began honing his writing skills in New York, and upon his arrival in Maryland, became an integral part of the area’s hip hop and spoken word poetry scenes. Cy began to build his reputation as a frequent participant in open-mic sessions, which allowed him the opportunity to practice his skills on audiences.
It was at one of these open-mics that Kevin Brown, a producer and emcee with DJ Jazzy Jeff’s production crew, A Touch of Jazz, became one of the first people to recognize Cy’s ability. After the session, Brown gave the emcee a beat tape. The two have been collaborating ever since.
With Kevin, Cy started down the appear-on-a-bunch-of-other-folks’s songs-to-further-build-your-reputation” path to success. Cy appeared on the “The Rebirth,”the Brown-produced lead single from Jeff’s The Magnificent. (BBE Records, 2002). Heralded by many as one of the tightest records in ages, it was played by hip hop DJs across the globe. Cy appeared on two other Kevin Brown tracks on The Magnificent : “How We Do,” featuring Shaun Stockman of Boyz II Men fame, and “We Are,” featuring Raheem DeVaughn. Cy continued his collaborative efforts by dropping verses to heat up the remix of Critically Acclaimed’s “Flashback” (Up Above Records, 2002), and Kevin’s second 12-inch release, “Nitefall” (Up Above Records, 2003).
