UNIVERSAL REBEL…
Progressing Humanity Thru the Arts.

(Sounds like Bob Marley, Common, & Phish)

Universal Rebel (UR) is an ORGANIC HIPHOP COLLECTIVE based out of North Jersey. UR is what you get when you take Bob Marley’s brand of REBEL MUSIC, mixed with the conscious lyricism of COMMON, with the musical experimentation of PHISH; a style UR has titled “HipHop Dub/Luv”. The band’s frontman, ADEO, formerly of the group RAINation, was the featured opening act for such legends as Kanye West, The Black Eye Peas, The Roots, Wyclef Jean, Talib Kweli, Common, Robert Randolph, Jimmy Cliff, Julian Marley, and an array of other artists. Now Adeo & his band of rebels have brought their delicious beats and conscious lyrics together to bring you their new studio E.P.- “ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS” featuring the smash single “U R the ONE”.

Spreading a message of love and unity, the members of Universal Rebel use their hip-hop-fused reggae/funk/rock sound to inspire positive social change. But their philanthropic flow doesn't end with their music; it courses through their lives and the world-conscious causes the band supports. - Morristown Green

We couldn't have pulled this off without the help of UNIVERSAL REBEL, a terrific band that really believes in a credo of love, unity and community. - Morristown Arts Council

"Brandyn Heppard of Morristown is all about the love. With long dreadlocks, a "no worries" attitude and spiritual pursuits, this Morristown native spreads his message of love as the MC of Universal Rebel, a reggae hip-hop band that plays regularly at an Irish bar." -Daily Record
