TMC: Introduce Yourself.
RS: What's good TMC! Its ya Rebel, Reb Skylarker; Rebel if you're a G, the Rebel MC! And you're now rocking with the CMExDPG Rebel Crew on The MC Magazine!

TMC: What made you pursue music?
RS: The love for the art. The art of Hip Hop. I pursued music because of the culture. Plain and simple.

TMC: What sets you apart from other artists?
RS: My grind! haha. My grind separates me from other artists simply because the job is never done. There is always something more you can do no matter what you're doing. I made this music my business and so I go full throttle until I feel that I have accomplished my desired goal. Sometimes the goal is never accomplished because there is always more you can do! Grind harder to shine the brightest! Rising Star.

TMC: Tell us something people may not know about you?
RS: Well, I discovered the name Reb Skylarker in 2011 while writing my debut project, "I Think I'm Signed" which has over 86,000 plays on Mixconnect! The name just fell out of the sky for me honestly. I always had the Rebel part. Reb been my name since the age of 12; but the Skylarker just came down from Heaven, word Up! But for those who don't know a Skylarker is a bird (Skylark), known for its melodic notes while hovering at a great height! I even had to look up the word myself to see if it was a real word, haha.. But I give all credit to God. Music is my destiny! I was created to spread Peace & Skyscrapers to the world.. They call me Reb Skylarker!

TMC: What projects do you have planned for the near future?
RS: I'm working on R.E.B.E.L.S World. Looking forward to that being a Summer release. I'm working on my next Walking Prodigies album, "Walking Prodigies II: The Duet." Don't want to release too much information about the album but just know that its going to be a real game changer! We're working towards that GLOW Tour to kick off this Summer too. Oh yeah, "G.L.O.W: The Documentary" will be dropping soon! We have so much in the works right now, its just a matter of staying focused and committed and achieving those goals. For more information from any upcoming projects from Reb Skylarker & The Rebel Crew, just FOLLOW me on Twitter!

I had the pleasure of interviewing Miss Raven Chanel (@_RavenChanel) aka Sexy Rebel, the host of the Get Down Radio show of Atlanta, GA. Read the exclusive interview below:

MP: How did this get started as the host of the Get Down Radio show of ATL?
RC: The show was already in place when I came on board. I met DJ Al through a mutual friend. We had a small meeting and I was asked to host the show. The producer and other staff came up with a working platform and format and we went from there.

MP: Ya'll really do get DOWN on the show, and talk about anything and everything, is that why the show has its title? Is that what keeps its viewers interested?
RC: That is exactly why the show has its title. The fact that we are Internet radio gives us a little more freedom to discuss and go into detail on topics. Our guest also keep the show very interesting we get them involved in our topics as well and try to get them to open up about our topics.

MP: On average how many viewers do you have?
RC: We have a great fan base and support system. Our viewers come from all over and all have different opinions. We have a large number of independent artists that watch our show as well as other people in urban entertainment.

We have has guest host such as celebrity chef Shane Michaels to sit in with us sometimes. Our DJ's make guest appearances as well.

MP: What is your favorite part of hosting the Get Down Radio show?
RC: There are so many great things about hosting this show. I would have to say one of the best parts about hosting the show is getting to meet and talk with up and coming independent artists. Getting to hear there new projects first and seeing them perform live. It's pretty cool to watch stars being made.

MP: Have you worked with any prestigious names so far? If so, who?
RC: We've had so many great guest. As I mentioned before chef Shane Michaels from the Real Housewives of Atlanta has worked closely with us. We assisted him with feeding the homeless in downtown Atlanta during the Christmas holiday. We've had music industry expert Kevin Shine on the show to discuss key aspects of making it in the music business. Scotty who is an exciting up and coming artist in the Atlanta area was one of our very first guests. We've also had legendary singer/songwriter Puff Johnson to come by and talk with us as well.

MP: Anything new/exciting coming in 2013 that The MC Magazine can get an exclusive sneak about?
RC: So many exciting things are coming this year for this show. We'll definitely have more great guest and hit music. We are involved with one of the biggest events in Atlanta the Salute the DJ's Awards. This event is in it's fourth year and we are honored to be involved with all the events surrounding the awards. We also have monthly industry mixers showcasing some of the hottest new talent from all over. We are becoming more involved with our community service initiative and are always looking for local charities to network with.
