Judge for aka-CY

Circuses can be inspiring. Introduce children to one and the
carefully observe their next month on the playground as they re
create the roles of the clown, the lion tamer, and the trapeze artist

For Christian rapper CY, it launched a fresh phase of his music caree
– one marked by a new found creative freedom for his sound, lyrics
and stage show

After launching the Circus World Event…The Ringleader album at th
2007 Texas Holy Hip Hop Achievement Awards (where MT
personality Sway was a presenter) to critical acclaim, CY began t
pray about the direction of its much anticipated follow-up

Whereas The Ringleader’s concept envisioned our world as a circu
with one true ringleader (God) and an imposter (Satan) who plot
and schemes for the same position, Circus World Event…High Wir
Act plays off a tight rope metaphor that represents the narrow roa
believers in Christ must walk in order to receive eternal life. Th
project also carries other messages about the humility that must b
maintained by those placed in lofty positions

CY’s High Wire Act employs a gloomier carnival sound, picture
painting lyrics, and explosive energy. It’s versatile and accessible t
all listeners with tracks produced by himself, Phillip Moore, Ton
Stone, Vohn Beats/Symbolyc One, Jimmy Natural and others. Gues
artists include Young Joshua, Tony Stone, One Dose, Von Won
FireJaws, Gina V, Tannie, Gifted, Kent & Shellee Coley, MiKalibur
Titus, D.Steele, and more

Circus World Event…High Wire Act marks CY’s third solo albu
(fourth overall.) Previous records have spawned an award winnin
video for his “Confession Invasion” single, recognition for the bes
New Album and New Artist of the Year (2003 Texas Holy Hip Ho
Awards), and several other nominations and industry honors

In addition, CY has performed at major events such as SXSW, Ra
Fest, the En Sound Music Awards, the All Eyes On Me Awards, an
Atlanta’s Holy Hip Hop Awards (where he was also honored.

Through those events and others, he has been honored to share th
