Much of Rowdy Rebel's music contains references to the block where he grew up. Rowdy has noted that he and other GS9 members talk about friends from the neighborhood "to keep their names alive."<ref name="Kollege"/> Despite the fact that only he and Bobby Shmurda have been signed to Epic Records, one of their primary goals is to help other GS9 members such as Abillyon and Corey Finesse get record contracts too.


Following his release from prison in December 2020, Rowdy was interviewed by ''[[Complex (magazine)|Complex]]'' and revealed that he was planning on releasing music straight away, however his team convinced him to work more on a forthcoming full-length project, possibly titled ''Rowdy vs. Rebel''. He also stated that he is still signed to [[Epic Records]].<ref name="Speedy">{{cite web|url=https://amp.www.complex.com/music/2020/12/rowdy-rebel-360-with-speedy-morman-interview/|title=What We Learned From Rowdy Rebel's '360 With Speedy Morman' Interview|work=[[Complex (magazine)|Complex]]|last=Cowen|first=Trace William|date=December 22, 2021|access-date=February 6, 2021}}</ref>
=== Legal trouble ===

On December 17, 2014, Rowdy was arrested by the NYPD for conspiracy, attempted murder, attempted assault, reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon. Bobby Shmurda and 13 others associated with GS9 were also arrested for various charges including drug dealing. Rebel plead not guilty to all charges. Rebel pleaded guilty in exchange for a deal that sentenced him to 6–7 years in prison. Due to time served awaiting his trial, Rebel was given almost two years credit for time served.<ref>http://www.xxlmag.com/news/2016/09/bobby-shmurda-took-plea-deal-rowdy-rebel-serve-less-time/</ref> Rebel has a parole hearing scheduled for August 2020 and his conditional release date is scheduled to be December 15, 2020.<ref>http://nysdoccslookup.doccs.ny.gov/GCA00P00/WIQ3/WINQ130</ref>
On February 12, 2021, Rowdy Rebel released the single "Jesse Owens", featuring Canadian rapper [[Nav (rapper)|Nav]].

Rowdy Rebel has released three major projects since 2021, 'Rebel vs. Rowdy' in 2022, 'Splash Brothers', with Fetty Luciano, in 2023, and, most recently, 'Back Outside'. <ref>{{Cite web |date=December 11, 2023 |title=Rowdy Rebel, Spotify|website=[[Spotify]] |url=https://open.spotify.com/artist/6LXRvV2OAtXF7685fzh3mj?si=ywnJu4WtTr-dXhlYbI7ozA }}</ref>

Chad Marshall[1] (born November 24, 1991), known professionally as Rowdy Rebel, is an American rapper from Brooklyn.[2] He is a member of the Brooklyn-based GS9 collective, formed by hometown rapper Bobby Shmurda.[3][2] He is best known for his guest appearance on Pop Smoke's 2020 single, "Make It Rain", which entered the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100.[4]

Early life

[edit]

Marshall grew up in a neighborhood known as "the 90s" in Brooklyn's East Flatbush area.[5] People in his neighborhood referred to him as "rowdy" as a child, which is the genesis for his stage name. Many members of GS9 (including Shmurda) originated in the same East Flatbush locale. He is of Jamaican & Bajan descent.

Career

[edit]

Marshall achieved fame in 2014 with the rise of his GS9 cohort, Bobby Shmurda.[2] He was signed to Epic Records in July 2014 just two weeks after Shmurda signed his deal with Epic.[6] Marshall was featured on a remix of Shmurda's hit single "Hot Nigga" with big-name acts like Fabolous, Jadakiss, Chris Brown, Busta Rhymes, and Yo Gotti.[4] Marshall also released several singles, including "Computers"[7] which was featured on GS9's Shmoney Shmurda (Shmixtape).[8] In October 2014, he released a single entitled "Beam Jawn" which did not include any features from the GS9 crew or other artists.[9]

In June 2020, he was featured on the single "Make It Rain" by the late rapper Pop Smoke, marking his first music release in three years.[10] The track debuted at number 51 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Marshall's first charting single.[11]

Following his release from prison in December 2020, Rowdy was interviewed by Complex and revealed that he was planning on releasing music straight away, however his team convinced him to work more on a forthcoming full-length project, possibly titled Rowdy vs. Rebel. He also stated that he is still signed to Epic Records.[12]

On February 12, 2021, Rowdy Rebel released the single "Jesse Owens", featuring Canadian rapper Nav.

Rowdy Rebel has released three major projects since 2021, 'Rebel vs. Rowdy' in 2022, 'Splash Brothers', with Fetty Luciano, in 2023, and, most recently, 'Back Outside'. [13]

[edit]

On December 17, 2014, Marshall was arrested by the NYPD for conspiracy, attempted murder, attempted assault, reckless endangerment and criminal possession of a weapon. Bobby Shmurda and 13 others associated with GS9 were also arrested for various charges including drug dealing. Marshall pleaded not guilty to all charges. He pleaded guilty in exchange for a deal that sentenced him to 6–7 years in prison. Due to time served awaiting his trial, Marshall was given almost two years credit for time served.[14] Rebel had a parole hearing scheduled for August 2020, which approved his release in December 2020. Marshall was released from prison after serving 6 years on December 15, 2020.[15] To celebrate his release, fellow rapper Young Thug gave him a YSL chain.[12]

Artistry

[edit]

Much of Marshall's music contains references to the block where he grew up. Rowdy has noted that he and other GS9 members talk about friends from the neighborhood "to keep their names alive."[3]
