"Silent" is the first single from Gerald Walker's I Remember When This All Meant Something... . [2]
Gerald said he chose "Silent" to be his first single because "the song's subject matter is one which is rarely touched on in hip-hop."
Rey Hussein of It's Not That Serious writes "Silent is one of the most personal, sentimental and lyrical pieces of work Walker has to date. Featuring creepy, fantasy elements on the beat, followed by some heavy synths and soft drums. Walker's sing-song flow about keeping an encounter on the hush, is not only classy but praise-worthy as well." [3]
Directed by Da Visionaryz, the music video was shot in the third week of November 2010. It was shot in Chicago, Illinois, Gerald Walker's hometown and is expected to be released in December 2010 [4]
