Having established herself as Boston hip-hop’s “Queen of the Bean,” Dutch ReBelle is now cultivating a global audience. Her latest release “NO STEMS” sees ReBelle’s rap roots spread into sounds inspired by her Haitian-Dominican upbringing and recent festival performance in Africa. But ReBelle stays true to her instincts when it comes to elevating fans above major labels: her upcoming release Bang Bang is the latest of many projects under her independent label ReBelle Music, and the first to be entirely crowdfunded. The “ReBelle With a Cause” (The Boston Globe) has found success defying expectations. She’s been nominated for underground music awards and has claimed “Best Hip-Hop Artist” at the Boston Music Awards. Her videos have graced MTV’s Rap Fix Live and her verses hum with “poetic style and lyrical bravado” (XXL). ReBelle connects to her audience with city grit and island vibes, setting sultry scenes and delivering thoughtful commentary.
