Relic
Born and raised in Oakland California, Relic is a modern day Earth Soldier whos dedicated to justice and equality. Relic (because he represents his ancestors) has been an active member of the Bay Area hip-hop scene for many years. He linked with DJ Descend in early 97 and went on to make his debut album Street Scholars. (98) He spent the next years perfecting his stage show by performing at a number of events, from small benefits to large concerts.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Relic co-founded Street Scholars Records and Entertainment alongside Sergio Monleon in 2001, the two promoted several events in the East Bay while continuing work on upcoming projects. Relic recently finished his new solo album Note to Self, which is a coming together of his work from 1999-2003.
One of Relics main goals is to make music that liberates the minds of the imprisoned. When I was growing up I felt like the fact that I thought for myself made me a social minority and through music I found freedom, so the least I can do is try to free the next man.
Aside from his solo career Relic, along side Unity Lewis and Binghi Ghost, is one third of the trinity that makes up a reggae/hip-hop fusions group called Elementactics. Currently the trio has been in the studio recording their debut album, which is soon to catch the world off guard.
As an artist, and a record producer Relic is on course to make a big impact on the global community. So keep your eyes, ears, and hearts open.....
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
