Public Enemy is back, just when we need them the most.

The classic hip hop act just released the killer new single “State of the Union (STFU),” a fiery takedown of Trump and rampant police brutality, produced by the legendary DJ Premier.


The single is available on all streaming platforms and as a free download on the Public Enemy site.

“Our collective voices keep getting louder,” says Chuck D. “The rest of the planet is on our side. But it’s not enough to talk about change. You have to show up and demand change. Folks gotta vote like their lives depend on it, ‘cause it does.” “Public Enemy tells it like it is,” added Flavor Flav. “It’s time for him to GO.”

Check out the video for “State of the Union (STFU)” below.
