Released in 2000 through Rufftown Records, Tha Cum Up is the second studio album by Los Angeles rapper Sylk-E. Fyne. Following her 1998 debut, Raw Sylk, the project marked another chapter in her recording career and continued her presence in West Coast hip-hop.
The album features ten original tracks combining street-oriented lyricism, melodic production, and collaborations with established recording artists.
One of the album’s most notable recordings is “Ya Style,” featuring Snoop Dogg and Bizzy Bone.
The collaboration brought together Sylk-E. Fyne’s West Coast style with two nationally recognized hip-hop performers.
Released as a single in 2000, “Ya Style” reached No. 17 on Billboard’s Hot Rap Singles chart.
The recording remains one of the most recognizable collaborations from this period of her career.
Beyond “Ya Style,” Tha Cum Up includes appearances by Chill, Phantom Smoove, JT Money, and Nicole Renée.
These collaborations contribute to the album’s musical variety while maintaining its foundation in West Coast hip-hop.
Notable recordings include “How Hot!,” “Players Comin’ Up,” “Dirty South Central,” “Tha Cum Up,” and “Dirty Game.”
Production credits for Tha Cum Up include Bruce Swedien and Rene.
The album combines rhythmic hip-hop production with melodic elements, reflecting the musical direction of Sylk-E. Fyne’s second studio project.
Throughout the album, her performances continue the lyrical approach established on Raw Sylk, while the featured collaborations introduce additional musical styles.
The original Rufftown Records album contains ten tracks and was issued in 2000 under catalog number 70024.
A later digital edition includes two additional recordings, “Demons” and “Paper Chase,” bringing the expanded version to twelve tracks.
The original and expanded editions are distinct configurations of the same studio album.
Tha Cum Up documents Sylk-E. Fyne’s recording career following the national success of “Romeo and Juliet.”
Although it did not achieve the same commercial recognition as her breakthrough single, the album remains an important part of her discography and her contributions to West Coast hip-hop.
Its collaborations with Snoop Dogg, Bizzy Bone, JT Money, and other performers reflect her connections within the broader hip-hop community at the beginning of the 2000s.
The album is preserved in the Dammit Boy Productions historical discography as part of the recorded legacy of Flagship Artist Sylk-E. Fyne.
