The G Is Silent - Phone-EG
The G Is Silent

The G Is Silent is the debut project by Canadian YouTuber Trevaunn “Trey” Richards, under the name of his alter-ego Phone-EG. Richards is one quarter of 4YallEntertainment (4YE), alongside his older brother Jermaine “Jae” Richards and twin brothers Durran and Wayne Ferguson. Released on May 1, 2015 as a free mixtape, the project was recorded, mixed and mastered entirely by Sunny Diamonds, with star producer Boi-1da laying down the beats on a few tracks. The project portrays Phone-EG as a young “gangster” individual from the poor neighbourhoods of “The Dot”, putting a comedic twist and some Toronto flavour on stereotypical gangsta rap. 4YE uploaded the entire mixtape onto their channel as one long, gapless track on April 30, 2015, a day before its official release. Phone-EG was introduced to the world with the release of “Phone-E’s Revenge” as a single on September 5, 2014, as well as a short behind-the-scenes mockumentary entitled “Gangster Video Shoot Gone Wrong” on 4YE’s channel the following week, in which Phone-EG first announces the project.
