About Me

________________________________________

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 an age of fickle audiences, payola-charged hits and replicated formula rap music, Silent Knight is "The new generation of Hip-Hop itself."
