Silkk Calone Bio
One of the first things that people ask Silkk Calone about is his name. It's actually not that unusual - "Silkk" was just a childhood nickname that stuck. He later invented the surname Calone, itself a mixture of Capone and Corleone, to better exemplify his more sophisticated, classic hood aesthetic. What some people never think to ask, however, is where Silkk came from. Silkk was born in the slums of
Belize City, Belize
, to a troubled 15-year old mother. Moving to the States at the age of three, Silkk was raised on the West side of South Central, LA, where he began to experience the same difficult hood life that was reflected in the same hip-hop music that later attracted him.
Inspired by the golden age of Death Row in which he grew up, Silkk was influenced early on by artists such as
Kurupt
and the rest of the
DPGC
. Always one to bring his own flavor to the table, however, Silkk blends his West Coast background with a cocky, laid-back East Coast style flow. Despite his often carefree style, though, Silkk's lyrical content reflects his life as a product of two violent cultures. Even though financial hardships left him unable to return to his mother country, his immigrant family members would constantly update him on the rapidly worsening situation in Belize. Silkk realized from a very early age not only was his city of origin even worse than his current hometown of South Central, but that the struggle of the ghetto youth was a universal one. Because of this, Silkk is able to bring a cosmopolitan, realism-centered style to his craft that hits the listener from both the hood and global perspective.
Despite being a newcomer to the industry, Silkk has quickly been gaining respect and turning heads in the industry. His slick lyricism caught the ear of Larceny Entertainment head T.K., and Silkk is set to appear on tracks alongside Larceny mainstays
Young Hootie
and
Hood Affiliate
, aka
City Boy
, within the coming months. He is also slated for featured tracks on DJ Nik Bean's latest mixtape,
LA City Riots
, and on the upcoming
Larceny Presents
series. Other projects and collaborations are also in the works. Given his unique flow and experience-based content, combined with his undeniable talent, Silkk is definitely one to watch for in 2006.
