The Silver Age – Listen to the Single!
Adam WarRock “The Silver Age” featuring Tribe One
(Production by Ruckus Roboticus)
Listen to the first single from the Adam WarRock debut album, The War For Infinity (release date: October 7).
When Niles and I arrived at Ruckus’s to record The War For Infinity, I had 16 tracks written that told a complete story about a hero and a villain. I had one beat left, and I knew I wanted to make some sort of song separate from the overall story of the thematic album. Call it a single, call it a curtain call, whatever. I wanted it to be a song that represented the ethos of whatever this album was supposed to be about. The only problem was that I was totally unsatisfied with what I’d scribbled out prior to getting to the studio.
All credit goes to Niles, as he came up with the idea to call our duo “The Silver Age.” It started out as a thing that just sounded cool. What true comics fan didn’t love silver age comics? We thought we could refer to ourselves as Stan and Jack as a joke, just two regular-sounding joes who want to talk about comics, in reference to the legends. But the more we talked about it, the more it made sense: we make hip hop that pays a lot of homage to golden age rap, but it’s something beyond that. We make rap music that uses the same spirit of silver age comics: imagination, superheroes, absurd creativity. So we sat down and wrote this song in a day, refined it throughout the week, and then recorded it last. And somehow, this very unlikely contender became maybe my favorite song that I’ve ever been a part of. That’s even with my belief that Niles smokes me with his ridiculous verse. And so here it is, “The Silver Age.”
Check back to the site soon. I have a bunch of free music lined up, plus news on some special things that will happen around the release of the album. Also, some big stuff about Adam WarRock in the news. October 7th. Get ready.
I’ve listened to this three times in a row now, and I think I like it more each time.
Thanks!
Niles’s whole first verse makes me embarrassed to even be on the same song as him.
dude this is nice. real nice.
Whoah. Just whoah. Damn funky.
Fuck yeah!
FUCK YEAH INDEED, SIR!
How does one procure this so-called record?
The album will be released on October 7. Check back to this site for more info, and free music until then!
This track keeps blowing my mind. Devil Dinosaur name checkin’? AW SHIT YEAH!
HOLY SHIT.
this is on another leve.
FINALLY!!! I get the references made in rap songs!!!!
I am a rapper who appreciates enunciation.
I didn’t think it was possible for me to get more psyched for the album, but, well, here we are.
Also, my girlfriend (also a fan) came in while I was listening to this and, after listening for a while, remarked on how noticeable the improvement in your craft is on this track. We both love the older tracks and Doppelgangers stuff, but this tracklog is clearly paying off; your flow has gotten seriously sick.
Thank you for taking Niles off my hands! He’s really been slowing down The Remnant for awhile now.
Real talk: I really dig this. Can’t wait to cop and support. Dope stuff sir…
“Mental organism designed only for killing this, mike” is my favorite rap line ever.
Amazing song.
Dudes dudes dudes I can NOT stop listening to this sucker. WCA had me already juiced for the album to drop, but now I AM FREAKING. OUT. How many more sleeps?
Oct 7! but stay tuned all next week, when we keep dropping previews, free music, and surprises!
Is that “Battle Without Honor or Humanity” underneath there? Damn, son. This is my favorite track you’ve done yet. Amazing stuff. Can’t wait for 10/7!

Holy hell, this track is hot. Can we get the lyrics out though? I missed a few of the references, like the MODOK one.
And yeah man, 10/7 is marked on my calender!
Everything about this track makes me happy.
Hell yeah man…If the rest of the album sounds this good you’ve got my money.
Seriously so good.
Oh man wtf, I haven’t enjoyed rap since the 90′s.
This is awesome. You made me smile
Aw, thanks. Your comment made ME smile. And I haven’t smiled since the 90′s. Wait, what?
So, I picked up The War for Infinity at C2E2. While I enjoy the whole album, I can’t stop listening to The Silver Age!
Wish I could’ve seen you live at the con, hopefully you keep up the con tour stuff!
