Lynx Presents: Kel Spencer "The Hip Hop Moses"

The self proclaimed "Best Rapper you have never heard of", Brooklyn born and bred Kel Spencer, is a man about his business and the business- music industry that is; Boasting song writing credit for such artists as Nick Cannon, Teddy Riley, Rodney Jerkins, and Big Willie Will Smith. American Music Award winning, he has also been featured on the soundtrack to the blockbuster "Wild Wild West". More than Music Kel is a community activist, spearheading projects such as Pens of Power which promotes literacy amongst youths, and hosts afterschool programs in his hometown of Brooklyn, NY.

Formerly a football standout at Canarie H.S. while at the historic Morgan State Univ Kel realized that his calling was not in sports, or business management, but in Cceative writing- which turned into a love and penchant for making hit songs. Explained in his own words Spencer felt that, "GOD blessed me with more than one gift and I think I can help a greater cause by doing the music thang". And that he has done. With performances in over 75 showcases, he has been published on HipHopgame.com, Smack DVD, XXL Magazine, Entertainment Weekly Billboard, VIBE, and ESPN to name a few.

Kel Spencer feels that there is a need in music for inspiration in order for listeners to embrace their ambitions and lift themselves above whatever tribulation is existent in their lives. Hopefully his forthcoming debut, "One Way" will fill that void. In addition to being a solo artist, he is making excecutive moves as well seeking distribution for his Co- chaired label 3rd Power Music Group. With mixtape after mixtape including, The Streets Know That, the EP, Who is Kel Spencer? The Mixtape; his catalog is very strong and his live performance is even stronger..

I had the pleasure of seeing this brother perform and he definitely gets my vote as a serious artist, not just rapper; He is a force to be reckon with, as well as a voice worthy of being heard, with work that must be supported. True Hip Hop fans, rather connoisseurs of music alike will not be disappointed with his product and brand. Currently he has a duet wit MC Lyte in Stores, "Salon Stories".

Promising he is, and a promise not to be broken- Kel Spencer is rated next by me. If u do not believe have a look for yourself and I dare you to disagree.
