The Commission presents The Legacy Tour Australia with Sevin

Sydney rapper Genesiz has had a great few years. He has become one of Australia’s most recognisable faces in positive hip hop. He has helped pave the way for others to do the same. He has released one of the highest selling gospel hip hop albums ever in Australia, having charted for three consecutive months at number 10 through his digital sales on itunes and Amazon through reverbnation. He has worked with big names and been a part of big things in the nation of Australia. But if you were to ask him about the vision in his heart, it goes beyond personal accolades and recognition. He has a vision, he believes is God given, called The Commission.

The Commission is the reality of a dream birthed in the heart of Genesiz in 2007. After the loss of two friends, one to cancer and one to suicide, Genesiz felt the urgency to spread a message of hope, legacy and truth. The result four years on is staggering. The Commission has shared their message with over seventy-five thousand people. They have performed at some of Australia’s biggest music festivals such as Big Exo Day. They have opened for some of Gospel hip hop’s biggest artists such as Lecrae. They have seen thousands of lives change as a direct result of the message they have continued to share everywhere they go. And they realise this is only the beginning.

Made up of Sydney rappers Genesiz and Protege, Queensland rappers D4C and Tim Turner, and Perth rapper Grasp, The Commission is quickly expanding and seeing their goal of positioning outreach teams in every state of Australia become a reality. They are not only entertainers, but they are ministers with their message being their sole focus, not their music. The Commission also run an arm of their organisation called HOPE. Through this, they provide opportunities for fans and listeners to sponsor children, donate to charity and help support great causes. Truly things are moving forward at a fast pace for The Commission.

2011 is looking to be a big year for them too. This year, from March 25th – April 16th, The Commission are fully funding their first national tour with international artist, and Genesiz good friend from Sacramento, Sevin. Sevin is one of the most prolific lyricists of our time. He has worked with and garnered respect from Snoop Dogg, Wyclef Jean, Lupe Fiasco, Quincy Jones, Xzibit, E-40, Too Short, Goldie Loc, Bizzy Bone & Bone Thugz & Harmony, Lecrae, Gospel Gangstaz, Bizzle and many more.

His ties to the street culture along with his spiritual aptitude create the perfect storm of authenticity, integrity and heart-felt passion that eludes many artists in the industry today. Sevin has chosen to be different. While most artists are promoting lifestyles that are driving millions of youth into an early grave, Sevin has pledged to use his talent to encourage our society, artist and consumer alike, to be more than just shallow shells of flesh willing to do “anything” to “get it”. Instead, Sevin uses his story and experience to speak about real issues that affect our daily lives from a perspective that can relate to people in all walks of life.

Sevin began rapping in 1999 at age 18 and has travelled the world and worked with some of the biggest artists in music today. Aside from his incredible skill in rap music, Sevin is also a song writer, track composer, public speaker, and founder/leader of “HOG MOB”, an organization operating in 40 different cities and 3 different countries. HOG MOB spiritually encourages and physically helps people and has reached out to tens of thousands of people on the streets seeing thousands come to Christ.

The combination of Sevin and The Commission promises to be not only very entertaining, but edifying as well. Australia has never had a national hip hop tour with an international artist over such a long period of time as a month. This will be a first in the nation. But The Commission think it’s the first of many tours they will host. The future is bright and God is moving in the land down under.

If you live in Australia, don’t miss your chance to be part of this history making tour as Sevin and The Commission trek five cities in four states. Not only will they be holding main events in major cities, but their weeks will be filled with ministry at schools, juvenile justice centres, night clubs, churches and youth groups.
