 http://SellassieSF.bpt.me\n21+\n\nThe Rap Contest creator, host and 
 producer Sellassie, is the world’s first higherground hip-hop artist; he 
 is a social justice activist, a member of the #Frisco5; withstanding the 
 longest politically motivated hunger strike in San Francisco, entrepreneur, 
 event producer and pioneer.  Sellassie has carved his niche as a leading 
 progressive voice in hip-hop and as a force in bringing independent artists 
 together.  Sellassie performs at Amnesia on June 23rd a headline set in his 
 first hometown performance in 2 years.\n\nA San Francisco native, Sellassie 
 is proof that there are young black artists that can make music that is 
 creative, street, positive and smart.   With an acclaimed and award-winning 
 debut release, I’m Tryin’ to Make a Livin’ Not a Killin’, this 
 trendsetting emcee has garnered a street level buzz with a fresh 
 perspective.   He stands firm to his message, has a charismatic presence 
 and is evidence that not every rapper raps negatively, glorifying drugs, 
 guns, money or their ego.  He is also the creator, producer and host of the 
 Independent Artist Series, The Rap Contest, We All We Got and Undiscovered 
 Tour.   Producing over 200 shows on the calendar in the last five years in 
 over 15 markets nationwide, the series have distinguished themselves as 
 premier outlets for independent artists.  He is also working with many 
 social, political and youth based initiatives, and is a contributor to 
 various special projects including the film, It Doesn’t Cost Nothin’ to 
 Dream.  Sellassie is grounded; a confident and refreshing emcee in an 
 industry plagued with commercialism, materialism, negativity and drama.   
 Sellassie utilizes his music and events as a vehicle for social change and 
 inspiration, and he regularly states that he “wants to be in the history 
 books, not the pop charts.”\n\nSellassie has shared the stage with many 
 great artists;  Rakim, Saul Williams, KRS-One, The Goodie Mob, Mos Def, Sly 
 and Robbie, Vieux Farka Toure, dead prez, Redman and Method Man, Michael
