dead prez

Militant, bass-heavy hip-hop that functions as both a call to arms and a survival guide. Unapologetically political and sonically raw.

Intro

Formed in 1996, the American hip-hop duo dead prez consists of members stic.man and M-1. Signed to Loud Records, the group is defined by a political hip-hop sound heavily influenced by the philosophy of Malcolm X. Their work emphasizes militant social justice, Pan-Africanism, and self-determination. The duo remains committed to an ethical stance that challenges corporate influence within the media and the broader music industry.
