If you don't know already, I'm a rapper and you downloaded my mixtape.  
Thanks for listening. They say art should be left for interpretation 
but this project is art with intention. If my intention wasn't beyond 
expressing myself and simply being artistic I wouldn't feel the need 
to explain to you a few things. Soul Rebel is a reminder. I want to 
remind my fans that no matter what happens in this world, our souls 
live on. Beyond death, before this earth. I wanted to strip the 
stereotypical labels which is the irony in the intro being called 
"best new nigga" and the same tape containing deep house and disco. 
It's not even about versatility its about who i am in my soul beyond 
race or gender. Another archetype in this project is women. I use a 
song called my girlfriend is a lesbian to give a perspective on what 
men as a whole are doing to women. The mixtape ends with slow down, 
a message skewed into a love song speaking on the need for patience in 
this generation by using sex as a tool. Every love song on soul rebel 
is a story and every other song is a statement. Many people may 
support a corporation by paying for a value meal, a cup of coffee or 
some gas for your car but if this mixtape inspires you in any way, 
go to chrisyoungraps.com or defactocollective.com and order an 
exclusive soul rebel package to support the movement. A soulful 
rebellion involves the soul fighting for its place amongst the body 
and mind. We may feed our bodies with the best food and enhance our 
minds with the best education but if we do not feed the soul, the soul 
will remain an infant and your growth as a being will be incomplete. 
Many people have realized that Religion has killed more souls than 
it has saved. What are we left to do? What the children left to believe
in? Let your soul rebel and the world will gain more than you can gain 
from it. For a man who gains the world and loses his soul will remain 
unfulfilled. #soulrebel
