Scynikal is a Montreal born performer with a strong passion for the arts, music, and hip-hop culture. Since his public debut in 2008, Scynikal has made a name for himself in the hip-hop community of his home town of Montreal QC, Canada. After winning the 11 Chek Freestyle Battle competition title two years in a row in 2009 and 2010, success continued to follow Scynikal as he went on to win consecutive battles in Canada's premiere battle league King of the Dot. Meanwhile, in the fall of 2009, Scynikal became a founding member of the hip-hop group "MurderFace" along with fellow KOTD battle rapper CL (Cracked Lips), local DJ and producer Vincent Pryce (Teknition) and former"Royal Peasants" affiliate Shelz (Shaolyn). Numerous performances and an undeniable stage presence lead to "MurderFace" being listed in the Montreal Mirror's "Best Hip-Hop Act" category in their annual "Best of Montreal" edition of the Arts and Entertainment newspaper. MurderFace was voted #7 and #3 respectively in 2010 and 2011.

During their career, MurderFace released a successful EP titled "Faces of Def" and raucously opened shows for many Hip-Hop acts including D12, Tech N9ne, Kurupt, Onyx, Rustee Juxx and Torae (to name a few). 2011 was a busy year for Scynikal as he was crowned Montreal's Ultimate MC and finished as a semi-finalist in Aux TV's Ultimate MC competition in Toronto, ON. During this time, Scynikal also recorded and released a free promotional mix-tape aptly named "Getting Recognition" with fellow MurderFace member Shelz. On March 9th, 2012, Scynikal released his debut solo EP "Hope and Psychosis" and quickly followed that up with his sophomore release "Rap Over Fist" only seven months later in October.

Currently Scynikal is working on numerous album projects including his first LP scheduled to be released in the summer of 2013. He is also set to compete as one of the finalists in the Montreal division of the international End of the Weak competition.

Hard work, focus, drive, passion, and a insatiable desire to grow and contribute to hip-hop culture have been the main motivators for this versatile MC. Furthermore, Scynikal remains positive in his approach to life and his love for hip-hop culture - in contrast to the dark lyrical content that often accompanies his music.

Battle rap has only been the beginning for Scynikal as he has maintained a steady pace throughout his successful rise and has shown no signs of stopping or slowing down.
