About Me

Welsed has made a name for himself not only with his Fine Arts skills in graffiti and brush work, but also by opening up for the likes of Heiroglyphics, Brother Ali, Del, Jedi Mind Tricks, Non Phixion, Boom Bap Project, Vast Aire, Eyedea, Gershwin BLX, Living Legends, Lateeff, Mr. Lif, C-Rayz Walz, and many more. With a unique ability to change cadence, voice and style at a whim, he's paved his own way, humbly following in the footsteps of many before him. Whether if it's dosing on acid in NY, interning at the number 1 hip hop station in Dallas, TX, sucking down the weaponized hallucinogens in CA or basking in the contrails of CO, you can catch this artist repping hard for the streets of where ever he's at. Working with other artists such as Self Advocate, Mr. Verbal, Noble X, Basheba Earth, Baba Phly, DJ Chris Nathan, Timbuk and many more to come, he sports a style that rides the border of a surrealist hip hop under belly and the overt magick of our reality's unadulterated truths and paradoxes. With music to reaffirm the most evident affirmations of life, and with a very talented eye for Painting, he's put an emphasis on the fact: "WHEN IT COMES TO FUN, WE DO NOT FUCK AROUND!"
