Power = Power Mixtape

On December 3, 2013, The Soul Rebels released their Power = Power free mixtape. The free download featured studio, live versions and remixes of original material as well as covers of modern day hits by such superstars as Jay-Z, Daft Punk, Kanye West, Drake, Nicki Minaj and Bruno Mars. The single on the mixtape was a remix of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" featuring Queen of Bounce, Big Freedia. The mixtape won Offbeat's 2013 Best Of The Beat Award for Best Hip-Hop Album/Mixtape. "Hearing hip-hop and pop records transposed on live instruments is always a pleasure for avid music fans, and The Soul Rebels are giving the people exactly that on their new Power = Power mixtape." - Jay-Z's Life+Times. "The Soul Rebels, New Orleans' finest brass ensemble, just dropped their latest mixtape, Power = Power, which Noisey is happy to premiere...This isn't your standard wave, but the group's music is a funky new way to look some classic hits." -Vice/Noisey "Brace yourselves folks, these men are quickly solidifying themselves amongst NOLA's proud big brass elite... and seem intent to sublimate the homogenous tones of the contemporary urban music landscape with the lush instrumentation of our culture's root." - Okayplayer "The Soul Rebels are rebelling against one, albeit detestable thing: starchy paint-by-numbers music. As the New Orleans collective gears up to release their eclectic Power = Power mixtape on December 3 as a free download, the eight-member band has dropped a few aural treats along the way...Somewhere between Cypress Hill, Brand Nubian and Miles Davis, The Soul Rebels are filling the gaps. Power = Power features studio recordings, live versions and remixes of original works, making for a colorful musical mishmash, in which a hint of NOLA brass flair can always be found." -Vibe (magazine)
