Multi-faceted Ghanaian-born, Germany-based rapper, songwriter, and poet Selassie found his voice in music, and used it in a way to express who he truly is. Taking both his experiences as a kid from Dansoman, Ghana and growing up in Germany, the artist is able to break the stereotypes associated with kids coming from Africa to Europe and give the world a whole new perspective on the immigrant story.
His latest release "MMSH (My Mind’s So Happy)" is a heartfelt and soulful piece that dives into having a positive mindset in the face of adversity. Over the lofi, neo-soul soundscape provided by Roadrunner, Selassie brings listeners deep into his world with his offbeat and reflective songwriting that encapsulates his life in a nutshell. He delivers his thoughts in an almost nonchalant and unassuming manner as he seamlessly changes his vocal tone from punchy to a lazy drawl underpinned by subtle melodies. As the title suggests, Selassie is completely unbothered by external forces as he finds the perfect outlet for his inner peace.
"MMSH (My Mind’s So Happy)" is his third and final single for 2022 and it's released under the XYZ123 collective, a UK/Germany-based collective of various musicians, artists, talents and entrepreneurs from around the world, who create their art as a unit, and release them under various pseudonyms and artist names.
