First up in the Africanhiphop.com 15 Years Online series: the short documentary '100% Galsen', directed by Cheikh Sene, better known as the Senegalese rapper Keyti. The film was produced as part of the project 'Redefinition: African hip hop', a collabo between Africanhiphop.com, Optimiste Production (Dakar, Senegal, the guys behind the Senegal Hip Hop Awards) and the Faculty of Hip Hop (Cape Town, South Africa).

'100% Galsen' (Galsen is slang meaning 'Senegalese') is a unique film on various levels. Optimiste Production approached Keyti (real name: Cheikh Sene) to direct the film.
