There is a neighborhood tucked away in the eastern hills of Cincinnati called Silverton where two local hip-hop heavyweights hail. Citoak and KyleDavid may have emrged from seperate rap clans as they rose throught the proverbial ranks (Watusi, Five Deez), but fate within the Queen City is always but a sliver away and eventually brought the two lyrical forces together to form the appropiately named Sons of Silverton.

On their debut effort Or Forever Hold Your Peace, they have teamed up with native New Orleans producer Prospek, who after being dispaced by hurricane Katrina had eventually made his way to Cincinnati. After being introduced by Suave, a mutual friend and fellow New Orleans artist, they embarked on a journey that started off as a 3-5 song Ep and grew into a full album. With contributrions form veteran artist like Cincinnati rapper Piakhan (Hi-Tek, Reflections Eternal), jazz pianist Josh Jessen, bassist Jake Hellman (The Quiet Hollers), guitarist Chris madine (The Cliftones), musician Chris Pennington, singers Deion Jenkins (Game, Hi-tek) and Diamond Russell the creative energy was undeniable.

The first bite of this concoction comes in the single "You Know Them As". A song about "Suckas" as the chorus so emphatically exclaims. With spins on Uptownradio513, WXDU Street Flava Mix Show, Southern Vangaurd Radio, I and Eye Radio 97.1fm, and Soul Public radio already in rotation, and tour support they have planned for throught the summer, has the Sons of Silverton poised to leave a mark on the surface of Hip-Hop.
