OLD SOLOMON Is Bridging Hip-Hop’s Golden Era With Miami’s Modern Grit

From the graffiti-stained streets of Miami to global streaming platforms, OLD SOLOMON—also known as Solomon 11—is building a legacy rooted in authenticity, lyricism, and cultural reverence. Born in Camden, New Jersey, Solomon carried his East Coast swagger down to Miami at age ten, where hip-hop wasn’t just a sound, but it was a way of life.

By twelve, he was making his mark in the city’s underground through graffiti, a creative outlet that would soon expand into rhyme. His lyrical prowess quickly earned him respect in local cyphers, even leading to a memorable battle with Miami legend Pitbull and stage time opening for heavyweights like Trina and Rick Ross.

Today, OLD SOLOMON stands as a certified Miami graffiti OG whose art and music intertwine to tell a story of perseverance, philosophy, and purpose. His sound—a blend of nostalgic storytelling and modern craftsmanship—bridges hip-hop’s golden era with today’s evolving landscape. It’s timeless, wise, and undeniably rooted in truth.

His collaborations speak volumes about his respect within the culture. From legends like Sadat X (Brand Nubian), El Da Sensei (The Artifactz), and Killah Priest (Wu-Tang affiliate) to contemporary powerhouses RJ Payne, Hus Kingpin, Young Dirty Bastard, and The Musalini, Solomon moves fluidly between eras while staying grounded in his message.

Projects like Where It Started (produced by Krohme) and his recently released New Nostalgia EP serve as poetic manifestos. Fusing biblical wisdom, street philosophy, and gritty realism into soundtracks for reflection and resilience. His latest single, “That OG Talk,” extends that vision, resonating with audiences across iHeartRadio Miami 103.5, XM Shade45, and major platforms like On The Radar, while also earning placements in film (Bloodline).

With New Nostalgia, Solomon continues to elevate his craft, inviting listeners into a world where every bar carries weight and every story has purpose. It’s not just about rhymes. In fact, it’s about remembrance, growth, and honoring the culture that raised him. OLD SOLOMON is doing more than just preserving hip-hop’s roots. He’s replanting them for a new generation, ensuring that authenticity, knowledge, and creative integrity remain at the forefront of the culture.
