If you know Miami music, then you have probably heard of P Man Sam. Formerly known as Sam Ferguson, Sam Silvasteen has been on the Miami music scene for more than three decades. He was the one who broke the Rick Ross correctional officer story, and he was the current president for Miami operations at Don Diva Magazine.
He started his career as a member of the notorious Triple M DJs and started record labels EKG (one of Rick Ross’ first labels) and most recently, Off Tha Chain Records. In the early 80s he was a part of launching Club Rolexx (now called Club Lexx), probably the most famous strip club in the US. He was also the narrator for Rick Ross’ MI Yayo Documentary that highlights the drug game in Miami that fueled the music industry here.
So what happened to this man? According to police, Silvasteen was driving a red Chevy Impala north on Florida’s Turnpike when he was riddled with bullets and crashed into the median just before Griffin Rd. in Broward County. He died on the scene. Police are speculating that it was a case of road rage, but assure the investigation is on-going.
This was an ironic case for R. Daily to cover as we were supposed to be interviewing Silvasteen in the near future.
Comment with your knowledge of Silvasteen and look forward to more post in the future regarding this case.
