“I Rap Black”<\/em> is a powerful collaborative statement from rappers Chuck D<\/strong>, Bishop Lamont<\/strong>, and Mykill Miers<\/strong>, who kick serious knowledge over a slapping instrumental from Swedish producer, Max I Million<\/strong>. They\u2019re also joined by Swedish deejay\/turntablist duo Create & Devastate<\/strong> \u2014 the latter of whom tragically passed this past March \u2014 with outro cuts handled by Besh One<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The track is an all-out celebration of unity and strength, and its arrival couldn\u2019t have been timed better as today marks the 28th anniversary of Public Enemy<\/strong>\u2019s classic third album, Fear of a Black Planet<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Fittingly, PE frontman Chuck D kicks off “I Rap Black” with his trademark no-nonsense approach before passing the mic to Lamont and Miers. The two Cali rappers definitely make the Hip-Hop legend proud with their rhymes, which include thought-provoking quotables from Lamont like, “These are the days Marcus Garvey tried to preach us\/ How many prophets must die before they reach us?”<\/em>.<\/p>\n
