Public Enemy’s New Album to Feature Beastie Boys, Nas, Run-DMC, and Cypress Hill
The post Public Enemy’s New Album to Feature Beastie Boys, Nas, Run-DMC, and Cypress Hill appeared first on Consequence of Sound.
Public Enemy are returning to Def Jam Records for the first time in two decades for the release of their new album, What You Gonna Do When The Grid Goes Down?. Now, ahead of the album’s September 25th release, Chuck D, Flavor Flav, and DJ Lord have revealed the star-studded tracklist.
Across 17 tracks, the album promises a who’s who of ’80s and ’90s hip-hop royalty and past Public Enemy collaborators. Most notably, Beastie Boys’ Ad-Rock and Mike D appear alongside Public Enemy and Run-DMC on a track called “Public Enemy Number One”, while Nas, The Roots’ Black Thought and Questlove, and YG all contribute to the 2020 remix of “Fight the Power”.
Other guests include George Clinton, Ice-T, Cypress Hill, DJ Premier, The Impossebulls, and Daddy-O.
Along with the album’s tracklist, Public Enemy have unveiled the official music video for “Fight The Power: Remix 2020”. If it looks familiar, that’s because it’s the same set of visuals that aired during the BET Awards earlier this summer. You can find both the tracklist and video below.
