Dear Silas Talks His Single 'I Ain't Stressin' Today,' Musical Talents, & France Tour
By: Adonis Armstrong
Jackson, Mississippi artist Dear Silas is praised for his lyrical compositions and innovative sound, which grants him a unique musical gift, characterized by his distinct style and flavor. He took interest in hip-hop during high school and further honed his musical skills at the University of Louisiana in Monroe. Departing college close to completing his degree, he opted to pursue a career in music. After dropping his initial mixtape, his independent debut album 'The Day I Died' arrived in 2016 and started to generate a fan base.
Despite his rising music career, Silas worked at the Apple store in the Jackson metro area to make ends meet. It was there that he birthed the vocal hook for "Skrr Skrr." The track's breakthrough came in 2018 when a Dexter's Laboratory-themed meme featuring the song went viral, catching the attention of his colleagues, leading him to finish and release the track online. The viral video meme, showing Dexter singing the chorus of "Skrr Skrr" to another student, increased the song's popularity and significantly elevated the rapper's profile, subsequently attracting interest from record labels and resulting in a partnership with RCA.
“Just be okay being you and you are the only version of you and nobody else is like you. ”
He had a dope song called "I Ain’t Stressin' Today" from his recent album Self Love, which now features a remix with the West Coast legend Snoop Dogg. He also released a special tribute video that pays homage to his city that features shots around the vibrant City with Soul and THEE Jackson State University.
