NYC true-school trio Silent Funk +1 return with a new video this morning. “U Ain’t Special (The Promo)” is an original track made solely to announce their forthcoming album, U Ain’t Special. The album will drop this July in both physical and digital formats. The album title is a direct sentiment of how the trio of Rhinoceros Funk (emcee), Silent Someone (producer) and DJ JS-1 feel about the current generation of operators in the hip-hop space. As JS-1 states, “In this modern era where tech allows ANYONE to jump in and do anything, nothing is special. Most of the people everyone puts on pedestals are not even slightly special. They are dime a dozen with fantastic engagement on social media.” Or as Rhino succinctly states “Let me remind you of what’s inside you brother..NOTHING!!! I ain’t special … and if I ain’t special you ain’t special!”

U Ain’t Special follows last year’s LP Silence B4 Da Funk, which was the first LP as a trio, though Rhino and Silent Someone have released two prior albums as a duo (2022’s Self-titled LP and 2024’s Silent Funk 2 A Funky Silence EP). As Rhino says of the incorporation of long-time ally, DJ JS-1 “this one right here was trifecta of collaboration! Three man no tag, no disqualification no holds barred.”
