from who, from Utang at Jessand they actually planned it. I were

Brown. Hey, hey, putit in there. Put it in the
(03:52):
atmosphere. I put it in theatmosphere. Okay, okay, Hey,
So this is the now Soul Rebels. Tell me about how Soul Old Rebels
began, Man, Like, howdid you guys get started? Well,
the original group started back in ninetyone, spin off of Young Olympia.
I mean I was worth five yearsold and ninety one, so I wasn't
(04:14):
there. But you know, overthe years, the band, you know,
had that mindset where they wanted tokind of get away from the street
and do something that's more natural tothem. So they always looked at,
you know, why can't we beon the Madison School at Golden Stage,
Why can't we be in the staplesin the stage, you know what I
mean. So they wanted to takeit to a more mainstream audience, so
they started implementing some of the musicthat they were comfortable with, you know,
(04:40):
hip hop, funk, keeping thatnew wall in tradition, but still
making a transition and bringing it tothe world in a new in a new
realm, you know what I mean. So that's kind of how they got
where they got in over the years, members just kind of came in and
yeah, yeah, and I thinkit's been with eight years now. So
(05:01):
the last eight years you got thegroup you have now right right right right,
So yeah we just own you know, owning it up with man,
not trying to be in that boxand just keep them moving because I remember
when they first started walking round whyyeah, yeah, everybody, yeah that
they dudes, Yes, yes,yes, we did that. Nice time
to make some move. So wheny'all was Julie's, did y'all like look
(05:26):
up to the brass bands? Didy'all playing high school marching bands? Like?
How did that transplytch? Everybody?Everybody was in a high school band
from New Orleans, like you had. Some of the guys come from Saint
Nog You got Kennedy yet read Serviceread you got thirty five. I mean
it's a mix of a whole difference. One of our band members was drum
major at Southern so we all weall come from that those roots band here,
(05:49):
Yes, for sure, for sure. Yeah, yeah, we broke
yeah fo Trinting. Yeah yeah,it's just you know, it's all in
our roots. So that's kind ofwhere it stems from. So so you
guys coming from that background, Uh, do you guys like continue to further
the culture with young people learning musicand being a part of the movement.
(06:12):
Yeah, definitely. Um. Youknow me personally, I started teaching at
Warrnt East Hight Eagles. You know, the idea of giving back to the
community that didn't so much to me, right, So that was kind of
the mindset and I feel like theyounger generations are picking up on it.
I mean you you know, yougo walk down on Bourbon right now and
canell you might have five ten bands. Yeah, the high school kick right
(06:35):
right. So the culture is definitelyon going, not dying down. Um,
so I think we could be veryproud of that. You know what
the city has, the math thatthe city has lived, So is it
is it in the water, like, because man, you got so many
musicians here, Like although we don'talways get out with hip hop artists getting
(06:56):
attention that they need. Man,we got spitters, we got rhythmic artists,
we got inspirational artists. The amountof people that play instruments, like
the people that are on frenchmen onBourbon, like people out of touring globally,
like flying under the radar. Youknow what I'm saying. It's always
impressive. I know you guys haveworked with some other local bands as well,
(07:19):
Like, how do we have somuch talent here? But we're not
getting a claim that we necessarily needto get one thing. The reason we
have all the talent is because ofthe Caribbean Africa right right, because we
are the northernmost Caribbean city in theworld exactly, you know, and you
know the birthplace of jazz. Yeah, so everything kind of derived from that
(07:41):
drum and when people got to thewalleens, you know, getting that vibe
of the city. I think itjust kind of embedded than everybody. Do
you even know the people pick upa drum and beat it and being in
time and being ridded well, Iuse a microphone for my rithic. Yeah,
you go to different places people don'thave had it naturally, So you
know, I think it's I thinkit's important that we got that. So,
(08:03):
so what do we do to moveinto the next decade to make sure
that this artistry from New Orleanans stayson the national and international platform and continues
to get the attention that it needs. Well. Um, I think we're
doing a good job right now,you know with the Life of Freedom,
(08:24):
um taking the Bangers, Trumbo andShady, you know, shout out the
d One, shout out the GlobalWarming is doing some great things. Currency.
Um, it's a movement right now. And I just feel like we've
never had, you know, thebackbone behind us in the city of New
Walden like most major lane New York'slas um, so we kind of always
(08:50):
had to do it also, rightright right, Um, unless you were
the likes of the New Limits andcash Money, they they were special,
very special. Yeah yeah. Um. So just trying to reinvent ourselves and
just having any rights rights, youknow, your legal stuff together right there
you go. That's the main thing. Um, I think that's hindered us
(09:13):
the most. I never had thatquite intact listenies did. Yeah, that's
why it was. It was stillso much stuff from us. Yeah yeah,
yeah, get your paperwork together,that's important. I wanted to personally
tell y'all thank you for having meon the last project, but that down
for my city. I got achance to do my wild weighing this on
there that nostalgic and UH did alittle tribute to the nine o'clock Props on
(09:37):
there. Everything which a fire.H. They will playing it on all
kinds of international radio stations, playingit inside the pels and read it like
every game. So I just thinkif the pandemic wouldn't hit this, this
album was going UH triple black themon their ass. You know, hey
man, well look man, y'allcontinue to do your thing. Can't wait
to see uh more a Soul Rebels, more hip hop collaborations, because I
(10:03):

them blocked in, you know,y'all got to come back and we could
we could bust it open uh togetherinternationally. But look this the business.
