Battle of the new track's Champion: When Vinny first heard "When the Time Comes" on K103's "Battle Of The New Tracks", little did he know that his song would go Head-to-Head with some of his favorite 2003 rappers, becoming a hit song & defeating all the major players in the game consecutively.

"We feel the time has come to show the world what Vinny Rebel is all about!" Artist Mission: To show my kids and others a way of self-belief in becoming successful, after all the "ish" I've been through, people can relate to me and say : " Damn, if this guy can make it, maybe i can." "All i got is skills and alot of drive! (Along with some help from God). I wanna make it count so I'm active in my community with helping kids get off of the streets. You know these kids be the future for all of us, we all want our kids to grow up safe... I'm doing my share. But are you ? "
Music Influences: Born in 1975, the 80's had a huge impact on me ! I was a B-boy and discovered hip-hop . There, I could express my self properly. I'm mostly into the ole-school because its what I was brought up with . I'm also a huge fan of reggae & dance hall , but I like everything genuine in general. " |
