Silas Blak

Silas Blak is a unique force in Seattle’s hip-hop scene, spitting complex bars about subjects that rappers seldom approach, let alone attack head-on. Known for his work in formative Pacific Northwest groups Blak Stax, Silent Lambs Project, & Blind Council, Blak remains a valued member of the region’s hip-hop community.

Since teaming up with Cabin Games Records in 2014, the veteran MC has wasted no time in unleashing a barrage of new material. Blak’s work at the ‘Cabin’ began with the weekly-song series titled #BlakFriday, which has garnered praise from national blogs such as The Source, Okayplayer, School of Hip-Hop, and many more.

“This mixtape is my first solo in a minute. The playing field has changed but the craft stays the same and I wanted to evolve without making up shit or co-opting the struggle,” Blak said in reference to #BlakFriday, which will be released as a two-part mixtape during summer 2015.

Editorials: (wartunes) features Blak’s signature energy, lyricism and style over the crisp productions of Cabin Games in-house producer Kjell Nelson.
