Imagine blending the sounds of Mardi Gras funk, soft rock, and reggae so seemingly it defies category. Now shrink that idea into a seven-piece ensemble, add a hip hop sensibility plus a hundred years of New Orleans jazz tradition, and you get the Louisiana sound known as the Soul Rebels. This shrewd crew of college trained multi-instrumentalists are forcing listeners to "Let Your Mind Be Free" as they "Work It Out" on the dance floor. Their music is utterly uplifting and hardcore, leaving fans with a myriad of intrinsic sounds and songs to enjoy.
The Soul Rebels were destined for success. After parading around the streets of New Orleans in the tradition of the second line and jazz funerals, the Soul Rebels began their professional debut with the famed Neville Brothers in New Orleans at the hot spot Tipitina's!

Leave your cares
Because a good time is in the air
We came to party like we don't care
Everybody hands up in the air
Let's have a good time
Let's have a good time
Let's have a good time
We about to get lit
We about to get lit
Tell your friend call a Uber right now
This some shit you can't miss
On that Henny Ima sip
On that Remy you a trip
The way back it up and drop that thang
It's kinda hard to resist
And know that you tryna get summer ready
The way the sun shine off your skin
You so deadly
The way you carry yourself girl Impress me
Whatever you with girl I'm with Girl I'm ready
I don't need nobody wasting my time
Good as you look girl it should be a crime
Know that you special you're one of a kind
Let's get away and go clear out our mind
Let's have a good time
Let's have a good time
Let's have a good time
Let's have a good time
Rock with a dip you can shake anywhere
Hands in the air wave them like you don't care
If you came to party let me see you
Walk with ah dip lean
Everybody everybody look at me
I came dressed up so you could see
Dip to the left, dip to the right I came to get down

Let's have a good time

Hold up we just wanna have a good time
Throw ya hands in the air if you don't mind
Pour up drink up to the second line
She said she from the 9 and she don't mind dying
Girl you a mess child I'm blessed
3rd ward where we going at next
You got a gar we going to the park
Tryna see what boys that we gonna stalk
Ooh Look at that that boy over there
Tryna see if he's gonna put it in the air
He throw his hands up like man I don't care
I said what the hell ooh the weed will take us there
I said what the hell ooh the liquor take us there
I said what the hell ooh the beat will take us there
I said what the hell put your hands in the air
Have a good time and you live your best life
Leave your worries

We came to party like we don't care
Everybody hands up in the air

She claims to be fearless and ready to take risks
Girl you a mess child I'm blessed
Girl, you're a bit chaotic, but I feel fortunate

We're heading to the 3rd ward for our next location
You got a gar we going to the park
If you have a car, we'll go to the park
Tryna see what boys that we gonna stalk
We're curious to find out which boys we'll approach
Ooh Look at that that boy over there
Oh, look at that boy standing there
Tryna see if he's gonna put it in the air
We're trying to determine if he'll join in the fun
He throw his hands up like man I don't care
He raised his hands as if he doesn't care
I said what the hell ooh the weed will take us there
I'm surprised, but the marijuana will enhance our experience
I said what the hell ooh the liquor take us there
I'm surprised, but the alcohol will lead us to a good time
I said what the hell ooh the beat will take us there
I'm surprised, but the music will transport us
I said what the hell put your hands in the air
I said, let loose and raise your hands
Have a good time and you live your best life
Enjoy yourself and make the most of your life
