Marcel Wade (born August 26, 1975), better known by his stage name Cellski, is an American rapper/records producer from San Francisco.[2][3] He is also the CEO of his label, Inner City2K Records.

Cellski has cited Too Short as his main influence as a rapper.[2][4]

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.[5]

Music career

In the late 1980s, when Cellski was 13 or 14, he began working with Oakland producer Al Eaton,[2] at the same studio where Too Short was recording his debut best-selling album Life Is...Too Short.[4] 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.[2]

As of 2023, Cellski still performs at Bay Area events.[6]
