The Story of EGOT will serve as the follow-up to his debut album No Dope on Sundays, which dropped in November 2017 with features from Kanye West, Pusha T, ScHoolboy Q, Travis Scott, 2 Chainz, Jagged Edge, BJ The Chicago Kid, Estelle and others.
CyHi The Prynce was the subject of an assassination attempt in February 2021. His Bentley SUV was struck by bullets when he was driving down an Atlanta freeway, leading him to hit a pole and crash into a tree, with the suspects circling back in attempt to finish the job. During an interview with HipHopDX, he wondered whether the attack was a case of mistaken identity.
“To me, I feel like it could have been a mistaken identity because I do have a vehicle that a lot of other stars and MCs have that are here, artists that are here,” he said. “But also when I’m out of town and I’m doing my Wyoming thing, Sunday Service and writing for other artists, I do have loved ones and friends who might be indulging in things that may not necessarily connect to me or I may necessarily not know about because I’m not in the loop like I was when I was a lot younger.”
