# Cellski

Marcel Wade (born August 26, 1975), better known by his stage name Cellski, is an American rapper/records producer from San Francisco. He is also the CEO of his label, Inner City2K Records.
Cellski has cited Too Short as his main influence as a rapper.

## Early life

Cellski grew up on Randolph St. in the Oceanview, locally known as "Lakeview", neighborhood of San Francisco. At the time, the area had a high crime rate.

## Music career

In the late 1980s, when Cellski was 13 or 14, he began working with Oakland producer Al Eaton, at the same studio where Too Short was recording his debut best-selling album Life Is...Too Short. Wade began his career selling tapes from the trunk of his car in 1992. He sold 1,000 tapes that year, earning six thousand dollars, which he realized was preferential to illegal forms of money making.
As of 2023, Cellski still performs at Bay Area events.

## Business ventures

In 2012, Cellski started a streetwear clothing line called Chemical Baby; the name was inspired by the toxic dirt and water found in his community. In October 2022, inspired by his mother and grandmother's cooking, Cellski started a culinary popup called Big Mafi Burger. He also has an equity cannabis license with 2Took Farms, distributing Cookies, Berner's product.
