Description:
South-central LA’s Mike Rebel a rising rapper, through his own music, details his own trials and tribulations not letting himself be defined solely by his environment growing up.The son of a militant Islamic father, Mike learned early on that one of life’s most important missions is to rise above social conditions that a history of oppression had landed him and his peers in.
From state penitentiary, drug rehab to the lavish life amongst the elite entertainers of the world, Mike found himself turning to music to help share his story and express the perspectives he’s gained through his experiences.
Mike Rebel navigates through elements of jazz, bluesy rock and Hip Hop, in a vocal delivery of the same demeanor as the track’s title. His sound showcases the ways in which he is a student of music, experimenting with different styles and covering a lot of ground in one three minute display of his talents. The result is captivating, and his ability to translate his character and background strengthens his own approach to setting an experimental, calm vibe.
Mike Rebel took some time to chat and dive in deeper, as he readies his debut contributions to the culture that has inspired him to share his creativity and forge his own path.
