About
Arturo Lord Jr Brooklyn born Panama raised and diciplined had many names before he became Syn The Villain. Living in Panama, Brooklyn and Maryland gave him a view on life most people will never be able to comprehend. Syn rhyme style was born in Maryland at house party, but his skillz and lyrical content is that of an Afro-Panameno. Syn's first group was called the S.O.S Klan. The S.O.S Klan wrote tracks that are still brought up in Maryland today. With songs like " Down Low" and " True Dialect" they were a forced to be messed with.
Syn then starting hanging with more "his people" as he liked to put it. His people were Latinos and Carribean people. Syn is true forigner at heart, you can hear it in his rhymes. Syn has a temper that only a forigner can love which is why he feels he gets overlooked alot. This fromer carjacker (who dosen't like to talk about that too much) has experienced too many bumps trying make it this circus called the Music Biz. His former rhyme partners and managers all wanted to do whatever they had to do to make it, even a gimic. Syn( at the time S.U.N) was not going for that.
Syn took a break from music and tried to finish school found his way back to the mic when his cousin introduced him to Kool Kim from the UMC'S . This was around the same time The Board of Education lost a member and it was just Epic and Syn. While under the wing of Kool Kim Syn and Epic alot from the legend of the " Daisy Age" . Going to open mics and constant training Syn saw him self turning into an all around emcee. One day with any noticed Kool Kim just up and moved back to New York. So Syn and Epic were forced to go for self.
While Syn was deciding what was his next move he knew he had to get out of Maryland, but didn't want to move back to New York. Syn's girlfriend at the time Kamy( Now his Wife) decided to move to Philly to be close to both New York and Maryland. Just 3 months in Philly Syn ran into Detect at Halal Bial playing some of his music. Syn and Detct hit off from that point. Dtect was watching Enter the Zone and saw a segment on a local Hip Hop event called " THORTAKOVER" on tuesday nights. Syn saw something he hand't seen since his early days. HIP-HOP ! " I didn't want to rhyme no more, but when I saw the raw shit. I knew I was home" recalls Syn. Syn then he has gave birth to a beautiful daughter and is looking to drop his first album titled " The Fine Line"
Syn has rocked in Philly ( Liquid Charm, World Cafe, Madeusa Lounge and the Underground), Baltimore/D.C ( Mirrors, The Turntable Club) and in Ct( Cousin Larry's). He also opened up for likes of Kool Kim and Wise Intellegent(P.R.T). Syn say he is now ready to go back to New York and show his city what the hell it's been missing. Syn also wants to go any where his music will take him. Syn has collab with Squadzilla, Writtenhouse, Villains United, The Big Heads, and more to name. He has even collab with artist abroad Eka the Mad Sampilist( Neatherlands) and others cats in other countries. " He will Not be Denied!!!!! " is the motto Syn lives by! So get on the bus or get run over
