Serengeti

Serengeti Is A Multidimensional Artist That Utilizes His Eclectic Versatility To Create Unconventional Political Music Deeply Rooted In Hip Hop Culture. The Use Of The Title Serengeti Is An Artistic Symbol Of His Conceptions Forged To Mirror The Dense Lakes And Jungles Of The African Landscape From Which His Name And Lineage Is Derived. The Chicago-Born Talent Makes Music To Invoke Emotion And Promote Change Citing Racial Disharmony Political Ostracism And Personal Conflict As Inspiration.
Serengeti’s Atypical Childhood Involved Partaking In Public Protests At The Tender Age Of Five Under The Tutelage Of His Politically Active Mother. Young Serengeti Was Often Shuttled Between His Mother’s Impoverished Urban Community And His Father’s Suburban Paradise Leading Him To Uncover Two Contrasting Worlds And The Racial Economic And Political Ties That Separated Them. Over Time Serengeti Learned To Embrace His Cultural Diversity And Celebrate Its Varying Influences Through The Universal Language Of Music. As A Result Rock Instruments Have Been Merged With Hip Hop Elements Creating A Seamless Sound Drenched In Passion And Articulate Rebellion.
