Dallas native EB Rebel's musical journey would begin in 2016. Rebel felt compelled to act after the murders of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown. Rebel would write a Black Lives Matter anthem they hoped would inspire the movement. In May 2016, they released the single and video for “Don’t Care”, the lead single from her EP "TRANCE". After sharing the single with BLM activist DeRay Mckesson, the song began to spread. The anthem landed on Dallas/Fort Worth’s Central Track, and was featured in the national publication Afropunk. Within a week, the song would make it to the team of "Stay Woke" a BET documentary directed by Laurens Grant and produced by Jesse Williams. The documentary aired on BET May 26, 2016. The soundtrack also featured hip hop heavyweights such as J.Cole and Kendrick Lamar.

Since then, Rebel has released a number of singles which have gone on to gain the attention of national publications/brands such as Afropunk, EARMILK, Sofar Sounds, Bose, and more.
