Dead Prez has come out with a new mixtape with the help of DJ Green Lantern attempting to get hip hop listeners to stop listening to the commercial nonsense that is played on the radio today. Dead Prez has held a strong presence in hip hop since the mid 90’s. The group usually comes with strongly political/social opinions embedded in there lyrics. They aren’t subtle about it either; when they have a message to get a cross they usually spell it out perfectly for you in their hooks and verses. Repeatedly telling listeners to turn off the radio and to Google the currencies around the world are just examples of their in your face messages in their music. Lately they have been using the acronym RBG, meaning Revolutionary But Gangster, to explain their movement. If you are a fan of political rap this new release from Dead Prez will not let you down. Aside from some production low points, this is a solid release packed passionate rapping with revolution-inspiring lyrics. The best track on this album, in my opinion is NYPD. It bumps a lot harder than the rest of the album. The other standouts on this were Gangster, Gangster, Don’t Hate My Grind, $timulus Plan, Summer Time, and Refuse To Lose. In comparison to their earlier works this is an above average release from the duo, 3.5/5.
