Chicago Hip-Hop artist Sycosis or S . Y . for short , is one step to the left of the line for “ ordinary rappers .” Combining “ Conscious Rap ” elements with aggressive delivery and hard hitting punch lines , Sycosis has a style that varies but a message that stays consistent . “ My main goal is just to challenge myself to make something that I would want to listen to if I didn ’ t know who it was ; I try to challenge other artists to improve their creativity .” The Sycosis brand of Rap is a mixture of story telling and insight reminiscent of Nas , blended with a commanding delivery over powerful production the likes of Mike Mulah ( Universal Records ) and Skyy Stylez ( Trey Songz , Wakka Flakka Flame ).
