New Brunswick rapper Silent Knight re-teamed with producer Red Walrus (Action Bronson/Harry Fraud/Surf School) to release “Walt Frazier's Suit,” a sequel to their acclaimed song, “Craig Sager's Suit.”

The new single is the Makin Waves Song of the Week.

As the Makin Waves Song of the Week, “Walt Frazier’s Suit” also can be heard between 6 and 8 p.m. on July 5 on “Radio Jersey” at ThePenguinRocks.com. If you miss it, you can tune in any time in the archives at The Penguin and Mixcloud.

The song features fellow rapper GSL, a long collaborator of Silent Knight. Throughout the fun track, SK flexes and waxes poetic about basketball and ‘90s pop culture.
