With the provisional release of his first effort quirkily titled "What Ya Know?" SirShystie is poised to tell the world what they don't know while giving them a taste of what the rap game's been missing for some time.

New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 08/10/2007 -- The single written in record time and recorded over an original David Aaron beat is a fun whimsical jaunt through a typical "Shystie" parley while out for a night out with the boys. "What Ya Know?" is clearly a mean no harm, take no prisoners softer approach to rapping.

Reminiscent of Fabulous Shystie's voice and flow is simply melodic, hypnotic and methodical in its suave perfection. Combine that with the thumping backing beat and "What ya know?" is well on its way to becoming a club banger.

You can check out SirShystie live on stage and performing "What Ya Know?" at NYC Largest Music Showcase Part 7 on August 8, 2007 at Club T-NY. Come out and support your boy. It's going to be "HOT".

About Syntage

Syntage was born in Washington D.C sometime in the mid-seventies but grew up with his family in Silver Springs, Maryland. He now resides in a place he considers to be a magical place, hovering between the east and west called Bermuda.

Syntage's only desire is to share his love of music; all aspects of it with the world. "venuslevitating" is chock full of questions thrown out to the cosmos that have yet to be answered. Laced with religious connotations the track "creator" questions the existence of the maker of man and how "he" came to be. Where on "rain" you can feel the despair as he asks poignantly "who will be there when the rain comes down?" The album includes songs of healing, escape, hope and journey's of love.
