You may not know the name Silento (or his real name, Richard Lamar Hawk), but you probably know his song: “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae).” The debut single from the 17-year-old Georgia rapper peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and was so popular that just about everyone, including celebrities, was singing it and doing the dance. Since being released on YouTube in June it has garnered over half a billion views. Silento was nominated for a Teen Choice Award and an MTV Video Music Award, and all before he graduated high school.
