¦¦¦
Emerging from the New Jersey underground Urban performance ¦¦¦
circuit comes Silent Knight, a recording artist who brings a ¦¦
new glimmer of hope to Hip-Hop culture. This Brooklyn born - ¦¦
Tri State raised performer is an emcee whose electric stage ¦¦
presence and poignant lyrical abilities are smartly matched ¦¦
by his tastefully scathing social and political views. ¦¦
¦¦
Since his childhood, Knight has lived throughout the Tri ¦¦
State Area, absorbing the sometimes painfully diverse ¦¦
cultural landscape to which he would soon lend his wisdom ¦¦
and talent through his music. Although Knight is known for ¦¦
being a very private individual, the word Silent in his name ¦¦
is an irony not lost on his audience. ¦¦
¦¦
Since 1999, Knight has been steadily climbing the ranks of ¦¦
underground rappers north of the Liberty Bell - presently ¦¦
positioning himself among some of the finest Hip-Hop artists ¦¦
New Jersey and New York has produced in the last decade. Not ¦¦
only has Knight recorded with the likes of underground ¦¦
legends such as Sean Price (of Boot Camp fame) & Pumpkinhead ¦¦
(Stretch & Bobbito fame), he has also opened for renowned ¦¦
artists such as Talib Kweli, Masta Ace, Jeru the Damaja, & ¦¦
Immortal Technique. ¦¦
¦¦
Knights catalog includes production from some of todays most ¦¦
sought after beatsmiths like 9th Wonder (Jay-Z, Little ¦¦
Brother, Mary J. Blige), Ayatollah (Mos Def, Styles P, ¦¦
Ghostface Killah) Da Beatminerz (Boot Camp Clik, Black Moon, ¦¦
Smif-N-Wessun), & Illmind (G-Unit, Pharoahe Monch, Inspectah ¦¦
Deck). ¦¦
¦¦
In 2005 Knight released his first full-length CD, "Fall Of ¦¦
Ignorance" independently. Spanning topics from lost ¦¦
friendships to the shattered dynamic of the relationship ¦¦
between minorities and government influence, to the ¦¦
embarrassment of going on a date with no money, Knight ¦¦
revels in the pleasure of making himself vulnerable in front ¦¦
of his listeners. Throughout Silent Knights freshmen effort ¦¦
it is evident that he is creating a hard scratch on the ¦¦
surface of excellence, which we will surely see more of in ¦¦
the future. ¦¦
¦¦
In an age of fickle audiences, payola-charged hits and ¦¦
replicated formula rap music, Silent Knight is "The new ¦¦
generation of Hip-Hop itself."
