Sykes definitely is one of the illest out there….no doubt. Honestly I hear many rappers out there who are superbly talented but their potential or current level doesn’t scare me. The thing is with Sykes is that he already is fire…. But I know he’s gonna keep getting better and that does scare me cause he’s already dynamite lol. I feel honoured to be working with him as a producer and rapper and we got some real heat coming soon. What I will say also is behind his talent and massive work rate…. He’s a genuine good guy. A true gent.
Seek.
Sykes is a beautiful soul and a transcendent thinker.
It was an honour and a privilege to be a part of Chronicles and have the opportunity to work alongside him.
Go buy the album because he DESERVES TO BE HEARD.
(And cos my features hard)
Big up Sykes and Blade, make sure you support these guys.
Sykes is on another level man and a gr8 dude too. Pleasure to work with and very excited about any future stuff this dude does. Big up lads. Thanks for a gr8 interview .🙌👌❤️
When I first heard him around a year ago, I said immediately that he’s one of a kind, Awesome poetry and well tuned in to himself. Skill set is in the pocket, and yes I’m getting two copies of his ep ✌🏿✊🏿
❤
Feels like he have a balanced and honest representation of himself – operating at a high standard and still has much potential to offer. 👌🏼🙌
big up ill Sykes. thank you for the kind words my bro, means a hell of a lot coming from you that does. one of the most formidable emcees alive right now! good interview fellas. I totally agree with how people choose the easy route of imitation rather than the difficult path of self discovery. we are most definitely the latter
Dope interview
iLL Sykes hands down one of the dopest out there right now. Next level creativity and vision as an artist.
👊🏾🤴🏾👊🏾 yes yes. UB4 ting King. 👊🏾
