‘E N E R G Y ain’t for sale’ w/ ‘Rell Be Free’

In this episode of ‘The UpNUp Podcast’, Hip-Hop artist and community leader himself, ‘Rell Be Free’ (@rellbefree) shares how he found a way to marriage both uplifting his people while still elevating his musical trajectory to be a “peoples champ” that his community needs. From his early experiences being taught black literature to creating showcases at the early age of 15 years old, he was destined to not only create art but also create change through it. Having put out several projects, performing on countless stages, it’s also his work helping create institutions for the youth such as WA-BLOC (Washington Building Leaders of Change)(@wa_bloc) that his community can actually access as a tangible resource. Nonetheless, the story of Rell is one to definitely keep us all on #TheUpNUp
