Dead Prez
Many of today’s youth are not too familiar with the freedom fighters of the turbulent sixties. These men are. As rap faces its most challenging era, two aspiring revolutionaries in their early twenties emerge to pave the way for a stronger tomorrow.
They call themselves dead presidents, and for good reason. M-1 and stic.man are leading the charge towards a topic that seems to be a dead issue in rap – the necessities in life. In conjunction with 7G Entertainment founded by Lord Jamar of Brand Nubian, dead prez offer an alternative to the common pursuits of short term grandeur. Inspired by self defense parties such as the Black Panthers, dead prez is the most politically conscious music group since Public Enemy.
