Syringe

Maryland's prolific rapper Chase Cauthen, gifted with an unusual baritone growl, originally released material under the moniker MacXVII, starting with the seven-song EP Vulgarism (2013) and the EPs MuddyMac (2014), Havoc (2014) and Mackovich (2014). MacXVII then released the mixtapes Le Menace (2014), Weird Kid (2014), Lord Mackovich (2014), Frigid (2015), Skin Me Please (2015) and Walking Labyrinth (2015).

At this point he changed name, became Syringe and founded the multimedia collective of rappers, producers and visual artists WeirdCLVN (later renamed Weird Melodicians and Anti-World). Syringe debuted with the EPs Nextel Ringe (2015), Wretched (2015) and Disstress (2015). The EP A Leaking Head (2015) launched a self-standing series. He better documented his depression on the mixtapes Sound of Irritation (2015), Shuv These Colors Up Your Anus (2015), Rinjago (2016), Deathhead (2016), Anti-World (2016), with Pissing Off and Piss on the Kitchen Floor, the EP Stay Clear From this Fool (2016), Hellhorse (2016), perhaps the best of the series, despite the fact that most songs are miniatures (with two notable exceptions, one of which is the standout, Shoot the Party), Evil Nigga (2017) and Fatigued Moe (2017), which is actually the third "Leaking Head" tape. His convoluted brainy productions, his moribund delivery and his macabre lyrics (sometimes bordering on horrorcore) created a legend even without an official album.

After spending some time in a mental hospital, he changed name to Sybyr with Netgeers (2017) and started flooding the Internet with mixtapes under that moniker.
