WE ALL WE GOT will be hosted at the Element Lounge on Thursday November 12, with a Rap Showcase of Independent Artists. Presented by Inhouse Talent and hosted by Revolutionary Poet Sellassie, WE ALL WE GOT is designed to expose interesting and determined artists, cultivate relationships, and build community among independents.
Advocates of independent music, Inhouse Talent’s Gina Gallo and Sellassie see the opportunity to contribute to the local arts community among ambitious, forthcoming artists. Hip Hop artist Sellassie states, “We are the Future” and realizes the vast talent here in the Bay Area. “Local promoters bring in all these other rappers from all over the country for shows and have stars right here in the Bay.”
2009 West Coast Hip Hop Award receipant and event host, Sellassie is shining as a leading progressive voice in Bay Hip Hop. With an acclaimed debut release, I’m Tryin’ to Make a Livin’ Not a Killin’, he is now poised to release his next album in January 2010. Sins of Your Forefathers was written this past summer to address the realities of ghetto life as seen through the eyes of Sellassie. Although inspired and motivated from reading hundreds of books, Sellassie is self-taught and came up on the streets. Sellassie’s lyric is rooted in a deep comprehension of the world around him. He writes on domestic and world politics, international relations and community needs, corporate thuggery and the obstacles independent artists face. He has seen first hand the problems that his music addresses. He has seen black on black crime, he has lost many close friends to homicide, he has seen the drugs and money destroy his community, he has witnessed the decay of Independent Bay Hip Hop. The listener takes a ride with Sellassie, San Francisco's next rising son, thru 16 thought-provoking and inspiring tracks, coming direct from a young thinker, writer and poet.
