Born in Kumbo, located in the Northwest Region of Cameroon, Rick Silver is currently based in Douala, Cameroon.

Coming from the slums and one of the poorest parts of his country, he’s been through harsh storms of life, experiencing trials and tribulations of all sorts along the way. He grew up listening to music, impacted by the work of artists like Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Wu-Tang Clan, DMX, and J Cole. Hip-hop became a solution to his struggle, serving as an outlet for innermost traumas. Music allowed him to process sad emotions, battle depression, and overcome an inferiority complex.

For that reason, he goes deep on every track, writing each as if it were the last in his story. Since then, he has recorded many singles, and dropped his first official single with the official music video in 2020, “Came with Nothing.” Rick Silver directs and edits his own videos, also handling the photography himself.
