Silent Majority was a Swiss rap and hip hop music group. Founded in 1994 they were produced by Goetz (U2,Faithless). Considered turntable pioneers at the forefront of Swiss hip-hop[1] , Silent majority are unusual within the scene, defining themselves as "funky multi-linguals", and rap in “a mixture of English, Jamacian patois, French, Spanish and Swahili”[2]

The members of Silent Majority decided to split up right after the release of their last album 'Nightbloomers'.
