Iconic Rap Group Public Enemy Returns with ‘Black Sky Over the Projects’

Public Enemy has made a powerful comeback with their unexpected album, “Black Sky Over the Projects: Apartment 2025.” This bold 12-track release fuses the iconic group's trademark social critique with a vibrant essence reminiscent of old-school hip-hop. Made available without prior announcement on a "pay-what-you-want" model for 72 hours, this collection represents their most pressing work in years. Chuck D, also known as Carlton Ridenhour, and Flavor Flav lead the charge with potent verses over production by talents like Carl Ryder and C-Doc. Tracks such as “Evil Way” tackle superficial gangsterism, while “Sexagenarian Vape” navigates the friction between youth culture and ageism. The track “March Madness” sharply criticizes legislative inaction on school gun violence. “Fools Fool Fools (Dirty Drums Mixx)” addresses climate activism, combining humor and cultural critique. Featuring contributions from skilled musicians like Tré Cool, the album is a testament to Public Enemy's unwavering relevance and passion for social justice. Available now at www.publicenemy.com.
