Black Silver: Preserving the Essence of Hip-Hop in a Modern Landscape Guys, let’s talk about Black Silver, a name that’s been ringing through the underground hip hop for years now. This guy ain’t just some rapper, this is a legend who’s seen and done everything. He's known as The Navigator or Silver Synth, but he's much more than an emcee—Sterling World Records, he's its CFO. Black Silver was back roaring in 2023 after taking a little time away from the spotlight to prove he’s still got that magic touch. This is his latest project, *Weaponized Alchemy*, hitting stores on November 15th, and you DO want to hear it. He’s teamed up with some serious talent; DJ Obi, Main Flow and El Gant all bring the A game. 'Magnum 88' is incredible and the second single, a killer track, showing that Black Silver hasn't lost his edge and which dropped on November 14th, and listen it's a winner. He’s joined by El Gant and Main Flow, providing a track that’s both classic and fresh. It feels like old school hip hop but made for 2024. It’s what sets Black Silver apart from a lot of other kids who make hip hop: he knows how to straddle the line between respecting where hip hop came from and moving it forward. That in music, experience is your best weapon. He’s a prime example. Age? When you have real skill, that's just a number. Wanting to know more about how this hip-hop veteran keeps reinventing himself? Hang tight, we’re about to explore the Black Silver universe and hear more about his new musical endeavour.

The homie and legendary artist Ras Kass who is also in a group with El Gant suggested the two of us do a record. Magnum 88 is the result.

Lyricism in Hip-Hop particularly is part of the essence and held close to our hearts. So sometimes it's best to leave the interpretation to the listeners. How do your lyrics reflect your personal experiences or observations? I only speak about what I know. So you don't get a lot of fluff from Black Silver. I'm a straight shooter. Will "Magnum 88" have an accompanying music video or visual campaign? We are considering it now after such a great response from the public since its release a few weeks back. So we will see. Are you working on an album, EP or standalone singles? Magnum 88 is the follow up single after Hood Narrators feat. Kool G Rap. They are both from the Weaponized Alchemy EP which should be available on all DSP's by the time this article is out. What's next for Black Silver? I dropped a full length solo LP, 3 collaborative Ep's & 6 singles in 2024. Expect me to exceed that work ethic in 2025. https://open.spotify.com/artist/0wx3cuWLhMVkPA6dnMjNLd?si=YTF67lY_QbuL24Zsn3ORxg How do you navigate vulnerability and authenticity in your art? My nickname is The Navigator so this isn't an issue for me. I've always dealt with things head on and prioritized from there. How do you envision fans connecting with "Magnum 88"? So far so great! I'm actually ecstatic with the response thus far. Especially without any commercial marketing.
