Rick Hyde’s BSF debut project, ‘Plates 2’, is now available at all DSPs and features appearances from Benny The Butcher, Westside Gunn, A$AP Ferg, G Herbo, Meyhem Lauren, Skyzoo, Jay Worthy, and Killa Kyleon as well as production from The Alchemist, Harry Fraud, Daringer, and of course; DJ Shay. To celebrate the release, Ricky liberated a new visual for “Black Sinatra” which features Benny The Butcher & Heem and the track is produced by DJ Shay.

The release date for Rick Hyde’s ‘Plates 2’ project was chosen to honor the one-year anniversary of DJ Shay’s passing (8.20.2020). Shay, as he was too many, was like a father figure to Rick. DJ Shay was only 48-years old when he passed away, but his mark on Buffalo’s music scene will be talked about for generations to come. “Shay cultivated the Buffalo sound back in the 90’s” Rick Hyde commented. “He was actually one of the first artists to actually have a record deal outside of Rick James. Releasing my debut BSF project on the anniversary of his passing is both a tribute, and a thank you to Shay.”
