Rebel Music is a 12” single by Rebel MC, released in 1990 on Desire Records. The record captures Rebel MC at the height of the late‑1980s UK crossover scene, blending hip‑hop, reggae, electronic dance, and early rave influences.

The title track became one of Rebel MC’s most recognisable releases, driven by militant lyrical themes, heavy basslines, and a club‑focused production style that resonated strongly with UK sound‑system culture and emerging rave audiences.

This release includes The Article Mix, designed specifically for DJ and club play, extending the rhythm and emphasising breakbeats and low‑end weight. Production was handled by Simon Law alongside Rebel MC, with publishing through EMI Music Publishing.
