Music has drastically evolved over the years. Black Rebel, a unique up and coming musical group is on the verge of revolutionizing hip-hop. This group includes several young artists, including Curtis Pope, Sadik Roberts, Imani Chisom, Brandon McClung, Arthur King, and several other members. When you say or hear the name “Black Rebel”, many thoughts may come to mind. Well, the name Black Rebel has a positive, yet scientific connotation to it.
“Black” has a deep meaning to it–,beyond just– the color black itself but what you get from the color black. When a light is shone upon the color black, all colors are able to be seen. So, it is basically representing an open unity. The group has no intentions of conforming, which leads to their meaning of “Rebel”. They want to allow society to be socially aware.
Black Rebel is pretty much made up of unique individuals. Each member brings something new to the table and contributes many different things. “We just want to continue being a cornerstone for good music,” Sadik Roberts, one of the artist in Black Rebel, stated. Curtis Pope is one of the rappers in the group. His main inspirations include Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Jay-Z, Bob Marley, and John Lennon. He likes to listen to a little bit of everything.
I asked them, “How would you describe Black Rebel? Brandon McClung said, “Black Rebel is a family!” One thing the entire group could agree on is the idea that they want to be legendary. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that they will be.
