It seems as though the hip hop scene is going through this new trend where the Houston chopped and screwed sound is becoming big and influencing so many tracks, however, in Austin, there are some Rebels that are going the other direction and disregard the memo. They have already made one great project and this time they drop another with great timing. Rise is a small 11 track project full of nothing but positivity; the verses on every track are nothing short of impressive and likeable as we see a calm but unique flow being given to us. The delivery on this project is phenomenal and the lyricism is fair but what's to note as far as lyricism goes are the topics that are chosen: weed, life and females. Although these topics sound so familiar, the Austin Rebels decide to give things a twist and allow weed to be a luxury that can really help, females are not necessarily sexual objects but women that have emotions as well and life should be taken seriously, but be lived positively. The lyrics on this project are indeed impressive but what's more impressive is the production on this project. The instrumentals are all extremely relaxing and very friendly to the listener's ears as they give off this semi-90's hip hop vibe but it's a feel-good vibe that comes from every track. There's no need for a heavy bass or a catchy hook that will be spread through the radio, this project is basically amazing beats with amazing lyrics. Right from the start, the looping sample blasts the listener with this chill wave and from that point on the project takes the listener to this tour inside the lyricist's mind, which happens to be a cleansing pallet a genius mind all with heavy potential. If you're looking for a project that has a good message, chill lyrics and very relaxing instrumentals then look no further, this project is very much so "smoke friendly." Download this project and have a listen to the up and coming Austin Rebels. - Daniel.

Austin is full of oddities and many other things that make most conservative Texans cringe, but amongst the whole weirdness that there is in the Capitol of the large state, there is a small group that looks as if they will change the view on Texas music a tad bit. The Austin Rebels, are 3 kids that are hungry for so much and have quite the talent that is obvious in the production and lyrics. Although the words do sound similar to other lyrics that are already out there and sound repetitive, they do bring in a lot of thought to the listener and they are so simple, but they work, they blend so well with the production. The flow of every artist that raps on the instrumental is highly admirable and changes the whole vibe of the mixtape. There is a bit of a Houston hint in the mixtape, especially with the low chop/screwed-ish voice that comes in here and there throughout the mixtape. As if the lyrics weren't enough, with the talk about the basic things in life, there is the production, which is on a whole other level. The production alone on this 13 track mixtape is something to love about and chill to. With fairly slow and easy going instrumentals that do carry themselves with some nostalgia, there is a lot to like about the production of this mixtape, as it will send a nice tone to the ear and give much relaxation to the listener, especially with the track "Rolling Stoned". They do bring a similar sound, and it's as if Odd Future and the whole A$AP mob decided to compromise and add a Texan twist to their collaborated music; there is a lot of Déjà vu in the mixtape, but the genius in it is the unexpected twist that is right there in your face and automatically loved. The mixtape is not themed and grounded with one sound, and with this said, it should be liked for such an idea, as it has a variety of instrumentals that all do the same thing, and this alone is what makes an artist great. Much more is to be said about this group, but it's best to download their mixtape and light a few to their music. - Daniel
