“One of Charlotte’s most beloved rising stars, the music of Cyanca is an amorphous combination of all things soulful. With elements of hip-hop, R&B, neo-soul, funk and gospel, Cyanca’s output is something authentic and energizing.
Each track on the five-song EP, Fast Times, feels like its own musical expression while maintaining the overall aesthetic of Cyanca’s forward-thinking soulful output. While “Charger” is a breezy, melodic pop track, “PB&J” shows restraint as Cyanca exudes slow-jams vibes over a horn-heavy hook. As the EP comes to a close with the innately groovy, “Dancing Dirty,” you’d be hard pressed to not just start that EP right back over for another listen.” – Grant Golden, CLTure
Reuben Vincent
“Charlotte rapper Reuben Vincent released his second major project, Boy Meets World, in 2020. The eight-track EP is a more focused effort than 2017’s Myers Park, and includes standout songs like “Albemarle Road,” a nostalgia-soaked track produced by veteran Justus League member Khrysis. He demonstrates more depth and vulnerability in songs like “Close,” a haunting and reflective track produced by Eric G. of The Soul Council, the production team headed by 9th Wonder and his label Jamla Records.” – CLTure
