Wu Tang’s Silkski to Headline at Speaking Rock Casino in El
Paso, Texas
El Paso, TX (PRWEB) January 7, 2005 -– Silkski, aka the Don of All
Dons Silk Corleone, of Wu Tang Clan’s Brooklyn Zu, makes his way
to El Paso, Feb. 18, for the next leg of his whirlwind tour. Silkski
will take center stage with Bad Boy artist G-Dep at Speaking Rock
Casino for the post-Valentine’s Day concert Mi Amore, presented by
Crooked State Entertainment and Nebula. “I love coming to El Paso,
because they really seem to appreciate hip hop,” Silkski
reminisced of his last performance there in 2000, when he also
appeared on KTSM 9 NBC’s morning television show. Mi Amore will
also feature artists from Bad Boy Records and other local area
talent. DJ Pooh 1 from Power 102 KPPR FM will broadcast live from
the casino during the show. Gentlemen are urged to bring their
ladies, as roses will be handed out. Doors will open at 8 p.m., and
the show begins at 9 p.m. For ticketing information and
reservations, call 646-335-3036.
2004 was a very busy year in deed for Silkski, as he headlined
numerous sold out shows in such cities as Phoenix, Ariz., and Denver
and Ft. Collins, Colo. He also made his way across the globe for
gigs in The Czech Republic, Russia, Germany and Italy. Last July,
Silkski hit the mic with Ol’ Dirty Bastard, who passed away in
November, and the rest of the Wu Tang family for Guerilla Union Rock
the Bells in San Bernadino, Calif. Not to forget, Silkski played
some wild performances with RZA and Ghostface Killah at Club Utopia
and with Ice T at Key Club in Los Angeles. He appeared on BET’s
Access Granted, which went behind the scenes of Ghost Face
Killah’s music video featuring RZA and Missy Elliot. In 2003,
Silkski appeared in the VH1 special Inside/Out: ODB on Parole.
Silkski is well-known for his affiliation with Wu Tang’s Brooklyn
Zu, Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s posse. Silkski’s solo album End of
Days from Wu Tang Management’s Protect-Ya-Neck Records is expected
to debut in the coming months. Singles from the album including No
Money, The Don of All Dons and Ready for War will also be released
on the E-P titled 24-8 Tha E-P, and can be heard at

late ODB. “Wu Tang Forever!”
