Sin (born Francesco Ioele on June 6, 1986 in Belgrade, Serbia, then Yugoslavia) is a rapper and co-CEO of 1389 Records. He is best known for his first project DJ Vlad Presents: Sizzerb Mixtape Vol. 1 which sold over 12,000 units independently in 2005. His first single "Thanks To Me" featuring Cam'ron, Jay Bezel & Tom Gist of The Diplomats, as well the Purple City remix of the same song got heavy radio play throughout the US and Canada in late 2005 and early 2006. He went on to release Big Mike, Nu Jerzey Devil & Watsman Present: Sizzerb Mixtape Vol. 2 - Sin's City in March of 2006. The same month he released a separate Serbian-English collaboration with the Belgrade rap group V.I.P. entitled 1389 Records/Bassivity Music Present: Rane Mixtape Vol. 1. The Album/Mixtape was highly successful despite a lack of promotion and debuted at #19 on Serbian domestic charts.

In the summer of 2006 it was rumored that Sin was on the verge of signing to So So Def. He confirmed these rumours in interviews with AllHipHop.com, as well as Kisobran and Objektiv magazines. The interviews also created controversy and friction with Albanians because of Sin's political stance on Kosovo. Albanian rappers capitalized on this and released numerous tracks attacking him. Sin almost immediately responded by launching a clothing line called "No Pigeons" which many saw as anti-Albanian due to a previous reference by Sin in which he stated the double-headed eagle on the Albanian flag was in fact a "burnt pigeon".

In October 2006, Sin released his 4th mixtape, Team Invasion, DJ Kurupt & DJ Scream Present: Sizzerb Mixtape Vol. 3 - Opium Garden, this mixtape features dipset, young jeezy, Nas and many more, so keep your ears open for sizzerb. They moving units. He stated his final mixtape would be released before 2007.

Sin immigrated to Canada at age 8 because of the Civil war in Yugoslavia. Sin is a nephew of Simo Dubajic
