finetune artist: Silkk the Shocker

b. Vyshonne Miller, 22 February 1980, Louisiana, New Orleans, USA. Miller, recording as Silkk The Shocker, became arguably the most popular rapper on the hugely successful No Limit Records, the underground hip-hop label founded by his brother Master P. Miller began rapping as a teenager and was a member of several gangsta crews, including the Down South Hustlers. Originally known as Silk (without the additional k), he was a member of Tru alongside Master P and his other brother C-Murder. In keeping with No Limit's highly nepotistic approach to record promotion, he appeared as a guest rapper on label compilations and albums by several other No Limit artists. He released his debut set, The Shocker, in 1996, and soon afterwards adopted The Shocker as his given moniker. Like most other No Limit releases the album became a big underground hit, although there was nothing groundbreaking or remotely original about its clichd gangsta rap. However, Silkk was easily the most marketable of No Limit's artists, with his imposing physique and youthful good looks.
