REBELLIOUS

Southern Groove Entertainment,Inc. REBELLIOUS, also known as Shawt & G, is reaching heights like no other. Having been compared to duo's like Eightball & MJG, Outkast and UGK, this group reigns from the depths of Trenton, South Carolina. Originated in 1999, Mendez Curry, 24, and Thomas Glover, 24, released their first album entitled "The Revelation" on September 28, 2004. The 5,134 copies sold and still rising record has the South grooving by way of its funkadelic sounds produced by "The BlackestBeatMaster." Their goals lay farther than their hit singles "BELLSOUTH" and "HIGHER"; instead, REBELLIOUS seeks to be the South's newest duo with a refreshing sound of consciousness and triumph, the perfect blend of ice and water. With a mixture of west coast funk and southern blues, they bring the darkness, trials of the working class, and everyday people to light. These lyricists have gone against the grain, speaking with torturous tongues and spiritual synonyms. Aside from the rest, they have put blemishes on the "now" definition of hip-hop music. But on the contrary, this is not what you call a hip-hop record; they call it "soul food" or better yet, the supplements needed for day-to-day survival.
