Deity Rap: The Conscious Artistry Beyond Convention Of SyKi The Mind

***2025: Kismet, the sequel to 'ANDiTGo' ***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, appear...

***2024: Flowchart24, The World*** ** Flowchart24   On January 15th, SyKi released a full length project titled Flowchart24. The intended concept of the album was to depict a process of manifestation which SyKi practices, in the form of a Flowchart24 based on SyKi's rap lines; "from the eye, to the pen, to the pad, to the booth, to the future", which is a direct quote from SyKi's Foreign Feel verse on the song Crush It. The concept of the quote is evident in the visual which SyKi illustrated in his signature tribal art style of abstract art, for the cover art of the album. Flowchart24 can also be thought of as a chart or list of various flows in each song on the album.  The album consisted of 13 songs, including production from the frequent SyKi collaborator, Flapjack, as well as the song titled "LIMITLESS", produced by "ssiyinn.", an underground alternative techno and pop producer and sound engineer, who is said to be the older sister ...

**2021: Local Popularity, FlyAss Ent., Flapjack, Sleepwalking EP** SyKi became the opening act at a youth driven variety show event at *The Don Mateman Hall, performing the spoken-word poem 'Deification', a lengthy lyrical piece which would go on to be used as an intro piece for his ANDiTGo album. Apparently this performance was unplanned and SyKi was a stand-in for a martial arts academy who were originally meant to open the show. SyKi also performed an unreleased remix of Kendrick Lamar's 'ADHD' later in the show. SyKi spoke on topics of his unconventional genres, creative processes, plans for new music, his music journey since his youth, and his lyrics manifesting during his on air interview with radio personality *Tyroline Franks, who at the time presented the afternoon show on the local radio station *Eldos FM.
