Cymarshall Law has earned a reputation for his thought-provoking lyricism and collaborations with Hip-Hop heavyweights such as KRS-One, Sean Price, Elzhi, and Homeboy Sandman. Today, he unveils his long-awaited new album, The Peaceful Warrior 2: Raw Self-Expression, created in collaboration with UK beatmaker Slimline Mutha. The project is released via his own Freedom Entertainment imprint, with physical distribution by Fat Beats and digital distribution through Soul Spazm.
Anticipation for The Peaceful Warrior 2 ignited with the release of the explosive single “Blowtorch,” featuring Planet Asia and cuts by DJ Rhettmatic in April. Produced by Slimline Mutha, the track garnered attention from Rock The Bells, Real Late with Peter Rosenberg, and Wordplay Magazine.
“Blowtorch” was a potent preview of The Peaceful Warrior 2: Raw Self-Expression. The 13-song album is an unfiltered declaration of fearless authenticity and creative freedom. The pyro pen-pushing maestro flexes his signature style throughout his sonic journey, seamlessly blending Jamaican, British, and American influences to create a truly immersive listening experience.
Cy’s techniques as a verbal assassin have garnered high-profile praise from SiriusXM’s Rap Is Outta Control, Underground Hip-Hop Blog, and DJ Booth, to name only a few. Hip-Hop DX probably said it best: “Cymarshall Law is a conscious dude. He may boast a lot and talk tough on occasion but for the most part he wants everybody to speak out against “the establishment,” live up to their potential, and reminisce about how Hip-Hop used to be, good, as opposed to how he sees it now, bad.”
Building on the legacy of its predecessor with deeper personal revelations, bold sonic experimentation, and unapologetic truths, Cy released “Broken Dreams” off The Peaceful Warrior 2 featuring Brand Nubian’s Sadat X and Kafeeno on May 19. The music video, shot on the legendary Rocky Steps in Philadelphia, offers a cinematic backdrop for Cy’s lyrical introspection, fitting for a song that confronts adversity and finds beauty in the struggle, expanding on themes highlighted in the album.
When asked about the album and recent milestones, Cy shares: “Every verse is a declaration, every beat a testament to the journey. This album is not just music—it’s an unbreakable spirit, a legacy of raw artistry, and a call to elevate the craft. No shortcuts, no compromises—just truth.”
Cy’s relentless pursuit of his dreams and ambitions pulses through every track on The Peaceful Warrior 2: Raw Self-Expression and is a defining force behind his creative journey. Never one to chase trends, Cy has consistently carved his own path, driven by a deep-rooted belief in the transformative power of music. This album isn’t just a collection of songs; it’s a reflection of his personal evolution, his unwavering dedication to the craft, and his refusal to compromise. From the fiery delivery to the introspective moments, The Peaceful Warrior 2 captures Cy fully immersed in the lifelong mission of turning vision into reality.
