Cyphersick is back with a vengeance, and My Time 2 proves it. This project isn’t just a follow-up—it’s a testament to his growth, hustle, and unrelenting dedication to the game. After the success of My Time, the stakes were high, but Cyphersick delivers with a lyrical arsenal and production that highlights his evolving artistry.

Tracks like “Plug Str8” and “Supremacy” show his raw lyricism, blending personal stories of struggle with motivational bars that speak to anyone fighting for their dreams. The beats hit hard, while the messages hit even harder, with each song embodying the spirit of perseverance.

Cyphersick’s storytelling stands out as he reflects on the journey that got him here, but he’s not just looking back—he’s pushing forward. The album doesn’t just showcase his bars but taps into the essence of Hip-Hop culture, from street anthems to introspective cuts. His collaborations also shine, bringing in diverse voices while keeping his unique style at the forefront.

My Time 2 isn’t just an album—it’s a declaration. Cyphersick lets it be known that he’s here to stay, building off his foundations while reaching for new heights. Hip-Hop heads better pay attention, because this artist is leveling up, one track at a time.
