Music like Marčelo

Marčelo (Serbian: Mарчело, born Marko Šelić (Марко Шелић), 1983) is a Serbian recording artist and writer, known for his socially conscious lyrics and eclectic approach to musical arrangements through hip-hop music. A Paraćin native, he moved to Belgrade, where he has had great success over the years, and became one of the most prominent Serbian hip hop artists. He graduated Serbian language and literature at the University of Belgrade Faculty of Philology. For his extensive critically and commercially acclaimed work, he has won numerous awards, including two Serbian Oscars of Popularity, two Indexi Awards and an MTV Platinum Award.

Marčelo started making hip hop music in 1997, though his first significant contributions came out in 1999, with a demo band called Rhyme Animal. In order to pursue his solo career, Marčelo stepped out of Rhyme Animal in 2001, and started to work with Oneya, the founder of Bassivity Music and one of the leading producers on the Serbian hip hop scene. Oneya recognized his full potential and Marčelo signed with Bassivity in 2002. The first opportunity for a wider audience to hear and recognize his work came with 2003's Bassivity Mixtape Vol.1, to which he contributed two tracks, Definicija (feat. Shorty) and Snovidjenje.
