V.O.T.G (Voice of the Ghetto) is a rap group based out of South Central Los Angeles. The group consists of Lil Silent, Lil Trust, Loksta P, Big Trust, Ferndogg, Crit1cal, and Seven 50, along with producers Tee Beats and RU Productions.

V.O.T.G was founded in 2015 following the release of group founder and member Lil Silent after serving a lengthy prison sentence. Prior to his incarceration in 1998, Lil Silent had already established himself as an underground rapper within his neighborhood during the 1990s. Shortly after his release, Lil Silent joined forces with his nephews to form V.O.T.G, and together they began releasing a steady stream of tracks, mixtapes, and music videos.

Their music quickly generated a strong buzz and loyal fan base, drawn to the raw authenticity and gritty realism reflected in both their lyrics and visuals. Through their music, V.O.T.G paints a vivid picture of life on the streets of Los Angeles, sharing stories and experiences from each artist’s unique perspective.

More than just a rap group, V.O.T.G serves as a voice for those facing struggles, those who are incarcerated, those who have lost their lives, and anyone who has experienced the hardships of life in underserved communities. Their music represents resilience, survival, and the realities of the streets, making them a true Voice of the Ghetto.
