Sometimes it takes one individual to rise up, to be the voice, to speak the truth with no restriction. When that individual speaks, people listen, and a revolution can begin. Belly (aka Rebellyus) is bringing ﾓThe Revolutionﾔ this summer through major independent label Capital Prophet Records.
Born April 7, 1984 in the Middle East, Belly grew up surrounded by war, violence, and atrocities no child should ever have to see. When he moved to Canada with his family, Belly saw the money and wealth that was only a dream in his birthplace. Turning to the streets at a very young age made Belly strong and resilient but he needed an outlet to release the aggressions building up within him. It was rap music that would serve as this outlet.
Belly began recording professionally in 2001. He recorded demos in Chicago and LA. Unfortunately, problems with the law led to the closure of the label and the incarceration of key figures within the label. But this didn’t discourage Belly, he kept writing, and kept grinding. He released a number of mixtapes and slowly built a buzz in his hometown of Ottawa, Canada.
In 2005 he penned ﾓBe Easyﾔ and ﾓSmile For Meﾔ for label mate, Massari. Both these songs appeared on Massari’s debut album and became top 10 hits in Canada.
With the taste of success, he began writing and recording his own material for ﾓThe Revolutionﾔ. The double CD is set for international release this summer. Features on the album include Fabolous, Scarface, & Mario Winans.
Capital Prophet, along with Belly, are raising the bar in Canadian urban music.
