The Undiscovered Tour Santa Barbara
The Undiscovered Tour announces 9 California dates this April 2013. Created and produced by Sellassie and Inhouse Talent, The Undiscovered is a Nation-Wide Showcase Tour designed to market, promote and expose a facet in Hip Hop that is often taken for granted, The Upcoming, Independent Emcee. Contrary to the notions that "Hip Hop is dead" and totally fallen victim to swag, violence, money and negativity, The Undiscovered will prove otherwise. The Undiscovered Tour is focused on positive and lyrical Hip Hop.
The Undiscovered Tour is building a genuine network of Independent Rap Entrepreneurs, encourages artists to listen to each other's music and provides a priceless opportunity, a platform to be seen and heard in front of new audiences. The Undiscovered and sister series 2Racks Rap Contest and We All We Got have produced over 200 successful shows in its first few years and partnered nationally with Reverb Nation, Fusicology, the Hip Hop Congress and several local and regional promo companies, radio stations, studios and organizations. The series have booked over 1000 talented and emerging hip hop artists from across the country that have performed in front of industry professional and celebrity judges ranging from music supervisors, radio station music directors, on-air personalities, producers and artists. The Undiscovered Tour is Independent Hip Hop, it invests in artists on the rise and respects and contributes to the Culture of Hip Hop.

2Racks Rap Contest creator, host and producer Sellassie, is the world's first Higherground Hip Hop Artist; he is a Social Justice Activist, Entrepreneur, Event Producer and Pioneer. He has carved his niche as a leading progressive voice in Hip Hop and as a force in bringing independent artists together. With an acclaimed and award-winning debut release, I'm Tryin' to Make a Livin' Not a Killin', a recent follow-up, Sins of Your Forefathers and a brand new single, Stop Hatin in the Bay Remix by Traxamillion, this trendsetting emcee has garnered a street level buzz with a fresh perspective. Sellassie is proof that there are young black artists that can make music that is creative, street, positive and smart. He stands firm to his message, has a charismatic presence and is evidence that not every rapper raps negatively, glorifying drugs, guns, women, money or their ego.

Producing over 200 shows on the calendar in the last few years in over 15 markets nationwide, the series have distinguished themselves as premier outlets for independent artists.
