His most recent project includes, amongst others, All For Leyna, which Glenn Gamboa described as "(Syler's) version of the Billy Joel chestnut, that is fresh enough to spin on hip-hop radio right now.", Down Before (which has recently appeared on DJ Green Lantern's latest mixtape, "Overtime Grind Pt.2")., and a remake of Queen's Fat Bottomed Girls. He has also worked with a number of producers including Tone Mason (Drake, Game, Busta Rhymes), Greg Bruno, & Davy Deluge (Jennifer Lopez, Fat Joe).
