Rebel Vision

About Me

Generic B (Brian Taylor) has unleashed a new sound...Rebel Vision. A lifetime participant in the struggles of the oppressed since the age of 15, and a lyricist for as long, Generic has embarked on a journey to produce music from step A to Z. Rebel Vision claims no city, state, or country. Having been to or lived in many....we are very similar in most places. Rebel Vision claims a class -- the working class. And the world. And our history (past, present, and future).The POLITICAL IDEAS brought forth in the songs Rebel Vision creates are not original. They are a product of the collective knowledge of those who have fought to build a better society, since such ideas where held. Many of these lessons are contained in books that can be found (much more clearly and precisely at www.pathfinderpress.comThe theme surrounding most works by the group centre around the fight of workers and rural toilers around the globe to throw off the oppressive system of capitalism. Our history -- the history of the masses -- is rich with lessons of how to fight, and why we have failed or succeeded.Musically, Rebel Vision has a base in hip hop; but draws from the blues, to jazz, to rock, to classical music, to sounds around the globe.Rebel Vision stands by the fact that music is a powerful tool to communicate ideas, but not the principle one. Studying history together, joining in struggles be they against racism or police brutality; the fight for safety, better conditions and pay on the job; for immigrant rights; or for a woman's right to reproductive freedom -- this is how we begin to build a movement to take down the beast.
