Samara Cyn Took the ‘Backroads’ to Success & She’s Ready to Dominate: ‘It’s Grind Time’
Samara Cyn is 'Billboard' Hip-Hop's Rookie of the Month for May. The 26-year-old details her upcoming 'Backroads' EP and much more.
After signing with VANTA at the top of 2024, the Arizona State University alum delivered her heavy debut project, The Drive Home, in October, which showcased clever wordplay, twisted storytelling and an arsenal of wispy poetic flows on her arduous journey to healing and finding peace. Cyn, who’s currently trekking through North America with her “Brand New Teeth” collaborator Smino on the Kountry Kousins Tour, delves further into June’s Backroads EP, Lauryn Hill bringing her out at a show, and where she sees herself in 10 years. My mom’s an English teacher and she always had this segment she would teach where she would show videos of Brave New Voices, which is like a reality thing, and you go to inner cities and the kids work on poetry pieces until the end of a competition.
