Legendary NOLA brass band The Souls Rebels just dropped a sick lyric video for their single “Greatness”, featuring Dee 1, Alfred Banks and Sean Carey, off last October’s Poetry in Motion album. The track is straight fire, uplifting, conscious and hella inspiring, and was featured by ESPN as the official soundtrack of the 2019-20 college basketball season. The bars are deep and the message even deeper. Watch the video below.

Also worth noting, The Soul Rebels are kicking off a tour next month (see dates at the bottom) which includes shows with the Wu-Tang Clan and DMX. Be on the lookout… As for Poetry in Motion, frankly, we missed out on the promo material, but at first glance, the album features a star-studded cast, with the likes of Trombone Shorty, Kermit Ruffins, PJ Morton, Branford Marsalis, Brandee Younger, and Robert Glasper. Definitely what we’ll be listening to today…
