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.
