Steve rifkin really promoted them well. They had a lot of ads in hip hop magazines prior to their release. Even if you had never heard a song from them, you were anticipating their release. The ads in magazines had the children holding up the rifles in the air and that would be the album cover. The cover would be kind of censored on the stands with a label over it that was in the jewel case, but it wasn't on the official insert. Popping in the cd for the first time, you hear an exert from the great speech by Omali Yeshytela about wolves compared to black folks. I didn't like the entire as much as I wanted to. I thought the production should have been better, but it's a solid release

New track dead prez is officially back outside with the unfiltered reparations anthem "PAYBACK."


In their signature guerilla take over style popularized on their Turn Off the Radio mixtape series, stic and M-1 push the conversation on reparations forward over Eric B & Rakim’s classic "Paid in Full" and James Brown’s iconic “Big Payback”, with special guest Mykal Rose from the legendary reggae crew Black Uhuru.


Payback is a powerful mixtape gem for the people as the dpz prepare the official single release for their forthcoming full length dead prez album, early 2024.

Very much...

Album came out during the Cash Money/Rocafella Craze.


I understood the song "Propaganda" at 9 years old and it's more prophetic than ever.
