Silent Funk (Rhino Funk + Silent Someone) drop video for “Lard Yard”
Boogie-Down Bronx duo Silent Funk (Rhinoceros Funk and Silent Someone) have dropped visuals for new single “Lard Yard.” Speaking on the joint Rhino Funk said the track “is a call to attention in a time of multilayered social and political distractions. In a time where everyone believes they have something to say Lard Yard reaffirms that indeed most don’t pack the competency to chime in!” The track also features the deft turntable work of DJ JS-1.
The track appears on the newly released EP Silent Funk 2 (A Funky Silence), which fully illustrates the duo’s penchant for pairing boom-bap beats that are informed by unorthodox sources and subversive rhyme sonnets.
Another single from the EP was also released entitled “You Need To Know” (link below).

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.

British alt-R&B and UK rap dynamo Léks Rivers is back, and he’s pulling no punches with his electrifying new EP, Pulp Noir, out now! This three-track stunner is a manifesto of freedom, truth, and unapologetic self-expression.
Blending R&B with an experimental hip-hop twist, Pulp Noir is steeped in the bold energy of artists like Jimi Hendrix, Prince, and Michael Jackson, but Léks isn’t content to imitate. Instead, he serves up his signature mix of grime, Afroswing, and opulent hip-hop, creating a soundscape that’s purely his own. Pulp Noir is a sonic rush, an invitation to shake off the mundane and dive into the thrill of being yourself.
Each track on Pulp Noir is like a page from a handbook of self-liberation, with one golden rule: you have to jump in with both feet! “I wanted this EP to be an instruction manual on love with one step—you have to go through it,” Léks explains. The EP brims with youthful energy, playful wit, and a fearless spirit that urges listeners to be bold and live for the moment. As Léks puts it, “What you seek is in the place you’re most scared to go!”
With its infectious rhythms, edgy beats, and heart-stopping hooks, Pulp Noir will have you dancing and thinking, and maybe even daring yourself to be a little more honest.
