CYNE ("Cultivating Your New Experience") (pronounced "sign") is an American hip-hop group originating from Gainesville, Florida. Their often socio-politically charged, culturally-introspective, and motivational lyrics find influence rooted in blues, jazz, Gaita Zuliana, highlife, activism, humanities and philosophy.[1][2] The group consists of emcees Akin and Cise Star, and producers Enoch and Speck, and are currently signed to City Centre Offices.
CYNE has collaborated with artists from around the world, including Nujabes, whose solo projects have featured Cise Star and Akin, and Four Tet, who produced several remixes for and toured with them in 2005.[3]
CYNE's 2005 release Evolution Fight was named Album of the Week at Stylus Magazine for the week of August 29 – September 3, 2005.[4] In 2007, Cyne released the Grey Matter EP on their website to be downloaded, free of charge.[5]
