Rhinoceros Funk + Silent Someone are Silent Funk! New EP out now
Silent Funk (the duo of emcee Rhinoceros Funk and producer Silent Someone) have dropped a new single as well as EP this morning. “You Need To Know” illustrates the duo’s penchant for pairing boom-bap beats that are informed by unorthodox sources and subversive rhyme sonnets.
Rhinoceros revealed the track “addresses the problem of interpreting wealthy individuals as knowledgeable people and reminding them all they still function in a system where it all can be snatched right from under them!!!”
The track is taken from the newly released EP Silent Funk 2 (A Funky Silence)
Silent Someone has laced tracks for such legends as Tame One (The Artifacts) , Sadat X , John Robinson (Scienz Of Life), Craig G and Breeze Brewin (The Juggaknots)to name a few. He also produced the majority of Rhinoceros Funk’s 2016 album, An Aesthetic Act Of Aggression.
Rhinoceros Funk has fifteen albums to his name. In addition to emceeing, he also produces and has been a radio host for over twenty-five years (co-helming the Guerrilla Grooves Radio with Fred Ones). He has conducted 3000 plus interviews with hip-hop artists including many legends as well as up-and-coming artists in the scene.
More Info:
Hip-Hop Heavyweight Kingdom Kome has just dropped a new single (with accompanying video). “Cracks In the Foundation” (Produced by long-time collaborator RUEN) is a socially conscious dose of jazzy boom-bap. As the emcee states “I was driving through my old neighborhood in Miami and it really had me thinking of the current state of the world today. It got me in an introspective state and I made this message to the youth.”

Available via streaming platforms now, “Cracks In the Foundation” is the first leak from the Barrel Reserve LP fully produced by RUEN.
Less than a year after the last collaborative LP the duo dropped, Malbec 2 Kingdom Kome reveals “we never stop working on music together. A number of these tracks were recorded while we were preparing Malbec 2 but were better suited for a separate project.”
Following the high-end connoisseur angle, Barrel Reserve is expertly crafted boom-bap for the real hip-hop aficionado. This extends to the album’s guest list, which includes Supreme Cerebral, Recognize Ali, Che Uno, DJ Exes, AjaxLo, Camarah Walleed and Soarse Spoken.
Kingdom Kome is still promoting his other recent LP for 2025 Alchemy II Ein Sof, which was entirely produced by another long-time production collaborator Onaje Jordan (Hometeam).
