Sylvan LaCue: Being a rap star is fleeting
from The Come Up Show
Miami rapper Sylvan LaCue is using his authenticity to drive his artistry, and he’s making waves. After the release of his critically acclaimed mixtape “Searching Sylvan” in 2009, he joined Logic’s Visionary Music Group record label under the name of QuEST. After an enlightening debit transaction with a barista, he changed his name and left Visionary not too long after. In our interview with Sylvan, we learned more about why he left that group, and what inspired him to create WiseUp & Co., a music collective that bridges the gap between fans and artists. Listen to him talk about how his music doesn’t sound like it’s from Miami, authenticity in Hip Hop, and the 8 page letter his fan gave him on how his music saved his life. Each and every Wednesday we’ll be uploading a brand new interview with a guest we feel that you should know about.
