There aren’t many Frisco rappers with as much flavor as Cellski. In 1994, the streetwise lyricist and producer helped give rise to mobb music in the 415 with his debut studio album, Mr. Predicter. Now, for its 30th anniversary, he’ll perform the breakout LP with a live band on Feb. 22 in San Francisco.
At age 20, Cellski produced and engineered Mr. Predicter himself, with the assistance of his friends Tomie Witherspoon (a.k.a. the famed rap engineer T.C., who will DJ the event) and Don Marsh, a.k.a. The Enhancer. After recording its 17 tracks, he released it on his own label, Inner City Records.
