About Me


The first word that comes to mind when we listen to Sly's compositions is connoisseur. Illustrious and staggering in style, as well as unique in his perspectives of life and ideas about destiny, Sly really deserves this title. He is inspired by the harsh environment which he mixes with his own experience of reality, producing a materialization of his thoughts to be transmitted to a large audience through his songs.
Over the years, his special infatuation with Hip-Hop played a distinctive role not only in helping him grow as an artist, but also in offering him the reason that kept him going - in spite of all the troubles he has come up against. Although he was only a teenager when he first discovered his unquenchable thirst for words and metaphors, he quickly got acquainted with the basic structure of a song and understood that in rap music lyrics count more than melody.But it wasn't until 2005 that his underground breakthrough occured, as a follow-up to the gathering of forces with two other fellow MCs, Mista' B. and Eastory, forming the rap group "Ghetto Squad", also known as "GTS". That same year, in spite of the positive response and encouraging feedback they were receiving for the release of their first record,"Memorial", Sly decided to launch his solo career impelled, back then, by only an emerging fanbase. Shortly after he burst in a striking way on the underground stage, Sly became more committed to rising his musical standarts and more determined to excel his own expectations. Taking up the challenge of being a pathfinder, refusing to walk the road so many have walked on, his perennial endeavor will hopefully enrich the rap music scene with sober analysis and poetic insights.
