"the Dedan Tolbert Show" - Celebrating 10 Years!

Xtinguish Records presents ARSIN,who’s a Hip Hop artist from the Mantua area of Philadelphia which is also know as “Da Bottom”. Influenced by artists like James Brown, Michael Jackson, Bone Thugs, Nas, 2pac, Eminem, Naughty by Nature, Brand Nubians, Chub Rock and Marvin Gay, ARSIN later decided that music would be the best career path for him. ARSIN had his first encounter with Hip Hop music in 1995 when he found a “Brand Nubians” cassette tape on the ground and popped it in his radio. He went through struggles, which was one of the reasons he identified with the inspirational content in the Hip Hop music he collected. ARSIN realized he could inspire and reach people the same way. He got his name when the crowd began to scream “fire” every time he performed. He looked up different names for Fire and came up with Arson, which was later changed to ARSIN (Our-sin) because his philosophy was that “our – sin”, the idea of right and wrong affects the values of society in terms of classism, racism, political and
