Who do you think gets more death threats, Barack or 50 Cent?Brooklyn rap/rock group Game Rebellion and producer J.Period bring a healthy dose of consciousness in a brilliant reinterpretation of some Rick Rubin classics. Check the scathing indictment of the president on "99 Problems," Martin Luther's silky smooth vocals "Under the Brooklyn Bridge," and ode to my favorite borough, "No Sleep Til BK."
- Netic from Game Rebellion
Comparing George Bush to AJ Soprano, criticizing the nonsense on rap radio, confronting police brutality, and urging listeners to "get mad," Game Rebellion tackle serious issues without coming across as preachy or heavy handed.
The shit is dope. Don't sleep.

Hey Kid,
Wanted to say thanks for linking to Rebel Frequencies. I dig your blog too.
I must confess I haven't heard too much about this album, but it sounds like a head-trip, so I'll pick it up when I can.
What's your take on Saul Williams' latest? I just posted a review on RF and would love some feed-back.

Thank you much for checking the blog, the cosign is appreciated.
I've been meaning to check the new Saul Williams joint but haven't just yet.
But I agree that even more interesting than the albums (Radiohead/Saul Williams/Game Rebellion) themselves is the evolution of the music biz. Growing pains are not unexpected, but the freedom for artists to create the music that they want is exciting.
