Socio-political Rap Artist, Activist and Entrepreneur Sellassie cares about Black People. He cares about his community and speaks from the heart with his music and thru his movement. With the release of "We In Trouble Son," Sellassie leaves no stone unturned, he touches black on black crime, drug addiction, poverty, homelessness, mis-education, commercialism and militarism with this song as he sees it relate to his community. The beat was supplied by DJ CVince, who loves remaking and re-styling different melodies and giving them new vibe, and mixing them too. Tupac fans will recognize his greatest hits release, Troublesome '96. Sellassie wrote to the remix and recorded the song impromptu at San Francisco Legendary Producer TC's Hunter's Point Studio and created the vision for the video with partner Inhouse Talent. In a continued momentum in the midst of an organic grassroot movement, Sellassie's open minded, forward thinking approach gets message out to the masses in an attempt to Disturb to Increase the Peace.
