9.) SyKi - Kismet ANDiTGo 2

***2025: Kismet, the sequel to 'ANDiTGo', AGNi: Fire, in the forest.


***Kismet(ANDiTGo 2)***
Following the release of Flowchart24, SyKi worked closely with Flapjack Davis and RUDY during 2024, to create the sequel to the high esteemed ANDiTGo album. Using the same producers of the former album, SyKi evolved the sound and concept of the prior ANDiTGo's "alien or deity rap", inevitably presenting 14 songs to fans as the sequel rap album officially titled "Kismet(ANDiTGo 2)". 
It was apparent that during the album's production, SyKi had been drawing for a time period nearing 2 months, a 2 dimensional style animation which became the official music video for the fan-favourite song "FiggidY", SyKi's first ever music video. To promote the album, SyKi released a video of his own freestyle over the instrumental of Flatbush Zombies' "R.I.P CD". The album cover art selected depicted the golden head of a tiger, SyKi's Chinese zodiac sign, appearing on a golden medallion. The second installment of ANDiTGo included the associated words "Kismet", a sanskrit word for "fate" or "destiny" among other interpretations, pairing the concept of the "alien or deity rap" sound with an idea of the album's songs serving as expressive depictions of the destiny of a tiger zodiac sign in peak form. While combining production from Flapjack Davis and RUDY, SyKi also included his own "musical experiments" in the selection of songs, such as "Legend", "Ecstatic Calm", "The Show" and "Somewhere1", the album's unconventional interlude-style pieces which SyKi self composed in their entirety. 
He admitted that the song "Legend" paid homage to the late XXXTentacion, as SyKi included into the lyrics, quotes from X's "Look At Me". The project ultimately a predominant rap album with alternative a melodic elements. The song "HollywoodY" contained the album's only feature, a rapidly delivered verse from Flapjack Davis, where the producer/artist seemingly took verbal shots at former music associate, YUNG Dre, known to be the head and main artist of the Eldorado Park, based record label Blue Ent. Flapjack's disses to YUNG Dre in the song, served as a lyrical mockery of YUNG's apparent lack of musical talent and skill and is a result of Flapjack's frustrations relating to his alleged claim of unpaid production fees and purchases of beats when formerly producing for the label. Kismet (ANDiTGo 2 - SyGR Mode) was released on January 15th, 2025. SyKi's fans soon showing favor to the album's leading track FiggidY, as well as the rap skill showcasing song PERFECT. SyKi's personal favourites and most creatively satisfying songs from the album rather included Architecture1 (sequel to "Architecture" from the SoSo EP), and the song "Good Karma".
