B.Sykes
Born and raised in Decatur, Alabama Byron
Sykes has been in love with hip-hop for many
years. Some of his influences are U.G.K.,
Outkast, Eightball & M.J.G and Scarface, to
name a few. In the early 90s B.Sykes' passion
for rap music continued to grow as his skills
improved. Through freestylin and local talent
shows, B knew he wanted to take his game a
step further. B. Sykes attended the University
of North Alabama for two years in pursuit of a
degree in marketing. His interest in school
gradually faded (yall know how it be) as his
passion for music grew even stronger. B and
his roommate/longtime friend Pat Jackson
started writing rhymes together and eventually
started a group called North West Dec. shortly
after they changed there group name to S-N-J
(Sykes and Jackson), which also stands for
Southern **** Jamz. They generated a good
street buzz with the release of underground
mixtapes Drought Season (2002) and Street
Heat Vol.1 (2005). B. Sykes has also
appeared on several other projects, Craig
Groove presents The Big Bam Theory(2007),
The Best of Alabama Compilation
Vol.1(2007), Gangsta Island Records Music
Hustle 2nd Edition(2007), and most recently
the soundtrack for bestselling author Tim
Hamton's book "He Held His Own"(2008).
Now its 2008, and B is in the process of
completing his solo project. He is working with
several up and coming producers on his
project; Craig "Groove" Stevens who's done
work for Nelly, Chris Brown and many others,
Kelvin Wooten who's worked with the likes of
Anthony Hamilton, The Isley Brothers,
Raphael Sadiq,etc. Also supplying more heat
to the project are Kwofi of Next Level Ent.,
Keith Reeves of Polaryzed Ent., Mali Boi of
Slowmotion Soundz who produced the hit
"Rollin" for Jackie Chain, and Ken P of Ken P
Ent. This album will be one of the best
releases of 2008 and B.Sykes says "I put that
on everything, I'm bringing some real high
quality work out of Alabama". I'm here to
represent it right, don't sleep on me man
foreal!!!" B's vision is to let the fans get to
know him through his music. His main focus is
to stay true to himself and the people that
matter in his life and letting his music be a
reflection of that. Long live the real niggas, B.
Sykes on deck!!!
