Reble has steadily emerged as one of the most assertive new voices in Indian hip-hop — a self-defined force in a space that still expects conformity. Hailing from the lush hills of Nongbah in Meghalaya’s West Jaintia Hills, the 24-year-old artist carries the sharpness of someone who’s had to insist on being heard, while her writing reflects the constant negotiation between self-definition and public perception. Reble isn’t interested in fitting into a lineage of “female rappers” or tempering her edges to be understood; she’s building her own language of authority.
Her latest single, 'New Riot', released via Atlantic Records and Homegrown Music, sits precisely in that space — as continuation and confirmation of that authority. In the track Reble raps from a place of control, channeling the frustrations of the industry into a pushback and affirmation of her ability as an artist. “The song is about embracing chaos and rage as sources of power,” she says. “Through anger, I embrace the universe’s chaos — I’m only a tiny reflection of cosmic chaos.”
Produced by Parimal Shais, 'New Riot' leans into a clean, heavy trap base driven by a snarling electronic guitar, synths and an assertive bassline. It’s a sound that channels Atlanta’s trap lineage but stripped of excess, into a more contemporary dark and gritty undertone that makes a perfect sparing partner for Reble's verses.
"As a woman, I love stepping into this character. Reble is an alter ego of my true self. I embrace being unfiltered. Sometimes, I just want to riot and fuck things up. The universe is chaotic by nature, and so are we."Reble
Thematically, 'New Riot' is about owning chaos and rage as sources of strength — a rejection of every box Reble has been placed in. The song positions her unfiltered self as a reflection of both the universe’s disorder and her own power. It speaks to the experience of those who don’t fit into neat molds or find it hard to articulate their potential — the anxious, the hesitant, the misunderstood. For Reble, that struggle becomes a site of transformation.
The track reclaims what is often dismissed as volatility or excess, particularly in women, and reframes it as drive. It treats anger as a vital, creative force — one that can propel a person beyond what they or anyone else believed they were capable of. And the lyrics that is manifested through questions of authorship and imitation, without slipping into complaint. Instead, it builds a portrait of someone who has already decided to stop proving anything.
"According to the second law of thermodynamics, the universe is always moving toward disorder, striving for equilibrium. We are just tiny fragments of this universe, mirroring its chaos," she shares. "I want to embrace that chaos through my human rage. To declare that this is what I’m made of."
