Known for synthesizing elements of hip-hop, funk, and pop music with their NOLA jazz roots, The Soul Rebels have famously performed shows backing a range of lauded rappers including DMX, Talib Kweli, Rakim, Slick Rick, Raekwon (Wu-Tang Clan), Styles P (The Lox), Black Thought (The Roots), and many more.

While Wu-Tang Clan + The Soul Rebels’ performance on the Jazz Fest fairgrounds will mark the debut of that particular combo, Wu-Tang rapper GZA has served up various performances with the eight-piece brass ensemble over the years. In addition to his iconic work with Wu-Tang, the GZA has recorded a number of celebrated solo LPs. His seminal debut LP, 1995’s Liquid Swords, is widely considered to be among the greatest hip-hop albums of all time, earning GZA acclaim for his complex lyricism and weighty, cinematic Samurai imagery.
