Born on the island of Puerto Rico as Wesley Figueroa, the artist known as Syncere Poetry began writing his first raps at the age of 13. Alongside his longtime partner P-Villan (Jose Carvajal), the two started a rap group called The Lyrical Legion. Due to the size of the then young group of lyricists, the name was fitting. Syn and Vill, at the time, were focused on becoming lyrical masterminds. Fine-tuning the ability to "battle" was the best way to sharpen the lyrical sword. Syn's main advantage had always been his vocabulary. Up to that point Wesley Figueroa had been a Honor Student, who's writing ability had always surpassed that of his peers. In the same sense, Syn's outwitted his peers mostly on the basis of vocabulary..."Niggaz just couldn't understand me. They said I needed to stop using big words."Soon Syn became less and less stimulated by the "battling" side of hip hop and began listening to more "poetic" or "conscious" artist such as NaS, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, & Common. Living in just south of Orlando FL in suburban Kissimmee, Syn had been influenced by an eclectic mixture of East Coast and, the then growing, Southern or Crunk sound. All of which permeated through his pen. His flow was southern but his lyrics were obviously more East Coast sounding.A pivotal moment in Syn's progress as an artist came when he was 16. He moved to Puerto Rico to live with his father. On his home island Syn...found himself. While in Puerto Rico Syn embraced his heritage and was influenced by Salsa and Reggaetton. He began reading books about different cultures, religions, and spiritual ideals. He also began reading poetry by Saul Williams, Nikki Giovanni, Edgar Allen Poe, Willie Perdomo, and many others. So slowly Syn began writing Syncere Poetry.Finally, when Syncere returned to the Central FL area after traveling to New York to start a promotions company and several other business ventures. Now a young man and no longer a child, Syn has begun piecing together the makings of his first official mixtape. Although he has been recording for years, he's never been satisfied with the outcome. So now at the age of 24, more than a decade since his pen first hit a pad, Syncere Poetry is ready to fill your heart, mind, and soul with everything he is.Listen...there will be more to come...
