Lil Silent
V.O.T.G Rap Artist/Founder
South Central LA’s Underground gangster rap legend who began rapping in the mid 90’s. Best known for taking gangster rap tracks from those times & remixing them into the most raw, ghetto, gutter & gangster rap as seen through his own eyes.
The grittiness of his lyrics & the beats he was using was rare at the time for a Mexican rapper which caught the attention of the streets & created a buzz that was strictly word of mouth. These tracks can be found on YouTube & SoundCloud Under (Lil Silent). As more tracks were created between a span of ‘94-‘98 the tracks were collected into a mixtape. By this time the mixtape was already circulating throughout the rough neighborhoods in Los Angeles County & eventually through out other counties in California.
In 1998 Lil Silent was arrested eventually convicted of a case which landed him in the California prison system for a total of 17 years until his release in the 2015. In the mid 2000’s he released some tracks which were recorded on a cassette recorder while incarcerated. (Some of these tracks can also be found on YouTube & SoundCloud).
Since his release in 2015, Lil Silent has released 2 solo albums titled (That Voice) & an all spanish project titled (La Lucha Continúa) available on all digital platforms. Staying true to his music roots Lil Silent has also released several remixed tracks which can also be found on Youtube and SoundCloud. But Lil Silent has mainly been focused on his rap group (V.O.T.G). You can find Lil Silent rapping throughout all V.O.T.G projects and also fills in as management for all V.O.T.G activities & all artist in the group.
