about

Nothing like paying respect to groups that inspired you. Public Enemy and the production of the Bomb Squad shaped a LOT of my influence in rap production and thought. I had already come into my own Black Nationalism and PE's lyrics rained a lot of truth down. Made you think. "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos" spoke of the prison system for people of color, and I've seen the music industry this way for a long time. Only hope I did the song proper justice.
