Silent Cacophony
Silent Cacophony is the perfect name for this blog. It captures the magic of writing in a way that no other phrase can. Words speak volumes even though they make no noise at all. If my writing speaks to you, please contact me. I’d love to hear from you.

Happy New Year, Let’s Make 2021 Great!
It’s 2021! Man, that sounds strange to say. This was not something I even could imagine when I was a kid. The year 2000 seemed so far away and futuristic. I thought by now we would have personal robots, flying skateboards, and jetpacks. Alas, we have none of these things. But we have each other, […]

This was required listening every week and I rocked with the tapes for weeks afterward. Free mixtapes! Yes, sir! I even completed the j-card for the first time with this tape. Original air […]

RIP Stezo (WIB Rap Radio #414)
Rest in Peace, Stezo. I hate having to do two tribute shows back-to-back. This really sucks. But it’s not all tears; we got some great new music and some classic jams coming your way this week too. We even have a brand new Notorious B.I.G. song. What!?!?!? Plus, an exclusive from ENDXR that you won’t […]
