Let’s Get Free 2LP

Let’s Get Free was the debut studio album by hip-hop duo Dead Prez, originally released in 2000. Critically acclaimed upon it’s release, Let’s Get Free was called a “return to politically conscious rap” and, “the most politically conscious rap since Public Enemy”; the duo’s messages also earned them favorable comparisons with Brand Nubian, The Coup, Def Jef and X-Clan. The album’s lyrics, performed in front of sparse beats are startlingly direct, militant and confrontational. M-1 and stic. Man excoriate the media, the music industry, politicians and poverty, and urge their target audience to study socialism and ideas of black power.
