After launching the Circus World Event…The Ringleader album at the 2007 Texas Holy Hip
Hop Achievement Awards (where MTV personality Sway was a presenter) where after performing Sway stated to critical acclaim,
"This is what Hip Hop is missing", CYclone began to pray and focus about the direction of its much anticipated follow-up.
Whereas The Ringleader’s concept envisioned our world as a circus with one true ringleader
(God) and an imposter (Satan) who plots and schemes for the same position, High Wire Act plays
off a tight rope metaphor that represents the narrow road believers in Christ must walk in order
to receive eternal life. That project also carries other messages about the humility that must be
maintained by those placed in lofty positions.
CYclone’s High Wire Act employed a gloomier carnival sound and explosive energy. Each
song was painstakingly crafted to embody a singular theme where both the music and lyrics
meld together to transport audiences to a specific time and place. A perfect example is the
song “Ice Cream Truck” which takes the listener back to the youthful days of chasing after their
neighborhood’s mobile, sweet treat shop. Here, CYclone is handing out a variety of lyrical ice
cream bars.
It’s versatile and accessible to all listeners, something for everyone with guest artists like Young Joshua, Von Won, Gifted,
FireJaws, D. Steele, One Dose, Kent & Shellee Coley, and tracks produced by himself, Phillip
Moore, Tony Stone, Vohn Beats/Symbolyc One, Jimmy Natural and others.
So far, CYclone has four albums to his credit and has established his own Complex Melodies
production company and record label.
