The Story:
Silkk is the youngest brother out of the Miller family as well as the youngest member of No Limit Records. He is currently 20 years old. He has the same siblings as Master P has. He grew up in 3rd ward Calliope Projects in New Orleans. He finished elementary school in New Orleans, and then moved out to Richmond, CA after his brother Kevin Miller died. There, Silk went to high school and worked P's record store, No Limit Records. Silk got his name from his smooth and attractive personality he had with other people. Everyone used to call him, "Lil' Silk," when he was growing up. When Master P started rapping, Silk got into rapping. At the age of 13, Silk had already started appearing on P and other fellow No Limit rappers' albums. He became part of the group TRU and came out with their album "True," in '95. After P established No Limit Records, he set up Silk with his solo debut, "The Shocker." Silk found his niche and changed his name up by adding a "K," so no one would get confused with the R&B group Silk and also they claimed the name first. He also added The Shocker to his name, since he thought it fit well. Silkk appeared on just about every No Limit album that came out and in early '97, his group TRU released their second anticipated album, "Tru 2 Da Game." In early February of '98, Silkk came out with his second solo release, "Charge It 2 Da Game," which gained Silkk his personal national fame. Silkk, now, is currently working with his new group, Da 504 Boyz. His third solo album, "Made Man" is set to be out sometime in '99. You can catch Silkk the Shocker on various No Limit Soldiers' albums, and, now, famous rapstars' albums.
