 s Rap Contest is creating a movement for upcoming and independent hip

  the newest component from Inhouse Talent, creating a fun and unique e
 nvironment to discover and support independent artists.\n\n2Racks Rap

 hop artist, entrepreneur and activist. With an acclaimed debut release
 , I’m Tryin’ to Make a Livin’ Not a Killin’, and a new follow-
 up album, Sins of Your Forefathers, Sellassie is carving his niche and
  shining as a leading progressive voice and face of independent Hip Ho
 p. Although inspired and motivated from reading hundreds of books, Sel
 lassie 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 o
 n domestic and world politics, international relations and community n
 eeds, corporate thuggery and the obstacles independent artists face. H
 e has seen first hand the problems that his music addresses. He has se
 en black on black crime, homicide, the plight of drugs and money destr
 oying his community, and witnessed the decay of Independent Hip Hop. I
 n addition to the new record, Sellassie has built a revolutionary show
  series WE ALL WE GOT and 2Racks Rap Contest, is working with many soc
 ial, political and youth based initiatives, and is a contributor to va
 rious special projects including the film, “It Doesn’t Cost Nothin
 ’ to Dream.“\n\n2Racks Rap Contest is a series, with stops in Los 
 Angeles, New York, Atlanta, Austin, Chicago, San Francisco, Orlando, S
 eattle, Berkeley, Pasadena and Honolulu. With 2Racks and WE ALL WE GOT
 , the team has produced over 80 successful events in just over the las
 t year in more than 15 markets. Our shows are independent artist creat
 ed for independent artists. With the pulse of the streets and the hear
 t of the people, 2Racks Rap Contest is determined to pack clubs with n
 ew music and cultivate a thriving environment for emerging talent.\n\n
