Marcel P. Black
Baton Rouge veteran emcee Marcel P. Black has already received high praise from some of the most well respected names in Hip-Hop. Most recently Marcel was featured on XXL.com’s list “12 Baton Rouge Rappers You Should Know,” also highlighted on HipHopDX.com’s “Up Next By DX” feature.
A true grassroots, DIY, indie/underground emcee, Marcel balances being a leader in the Baton Rouge scene as he facilitates monthly and quarterly events in his local Hip-Hop community, and a pioneer/ambassador with a serious touring schedule that's led him to stages in every region of the United States, including festivals such as A3C in Atlanta, Georgia, the 2X2 Fest in Columbus, Ohio, Secret Stages in Birmingham, Alabama, and Jackson Indie Music Week in Jackson, Mississippi just to name a few.
Marcel has shared stages with KRS-One, Common, Jay Electronica, Mobb Deep, Run The Jewelz, Kevin Gates, & Slum Village, as well as underground heavyweights like Supastition, Sean Price (R.I.P.), Clear Soul Forces, Blueprint, Locksmith, and MegaRan.
Marcel has always used his platform as an emcee to bring light to social justice issues, from organizing benefits for National World Aids Day, and raising money for the children of Alton Sterling, to speaking on panels and lecturing on the intersection between social justice and Hip-Hop in collegiate and high school classrooms. The husband/father/artist/activist/youth worker’s goal is to use Hip-Hop culture as a conduit to freedom.
Representing Tacoma, WA (by way of North Carolina), Seven Da Pantha is most likely one of the best emcees you've never heard. Since his debut release Da Wait Iz Ova in 2004, Seven has released 13 solo albums, most notably 2015's Kwest 4 Greatness, produced exclusively by Kwest (North Carolina) and 2022's Shooting Starz 2: Da Eye Of Da Storm, produced exclusively by @TrussOne (Tacoma). Gravitas, helmed by Grammy-nominated D.R.U.G.S. Beats, is on the horizon and destined to solidify Seven's seat amongst his peers.
