Von Syrus, born as Devon Morris on November 30, 1988 in Far Rockaway, Queens, NY has been influenced by the Hip Hop and Reggae culture all his life. His lyrical ability and knowledge of poetical devices is a breath of fresh air compared to his peers in the underground scene. He also has the unique ability to tell stories and create out of the box concepts. Even though he aspired to make it to the NBA like all inner city kids, Von was surprised himself when he found out his hidden ability to be an MC. “I’ve never thought in a million years that I’d be rapping, it’s a surprise to me and everyone else who have known me all my life.”
“The Better” was inspired by his life experiences which lead him to always strive for better he was raised by a single mother. As the oldest of three he was looked at as the man of the house and new he had to always strive for greatness not only for himself but for his family. Nas, Eminem, Damien Marley, Busy Signal, J-Cole, Lupe Fiasco, Ab-Soul, and Kendrick Lamar, are a few rappers who inspire him to be great as an MC. “From pagan, religion, Christ to Obama/ I’m steppin’ up next”, this line indicates that he would like to be amongst the elite rappers to keep the culture at its best.
Despite him losing about 100 songs from the last group he was apart of, he started fresh when he relocated to Broward County and started working immediately on his first EP, “So Surreal”. Devon is very dedicated and determined to get recognition for his strengths as a lyricist. “Sleep I lost over trying to perfect my wordplay was well worth it, now all I have to do is show people that is something I am really good at.”
Expected to be released later this year, So Surreal, has many dreamlike short stories which tells realities about people that would be so surreal to others. “Five years from now I see myself established in the industry and respected amongst the greats in Hip Hop. I’m not doing this just for money, I feel like the culture in some ways is being exploited so I wouldn’t want to add on to that. My love for music is from the heart, not for the money.”
“Tryna live life asleep, cause dreams is all a nigga need.”
