Public Enemy rewrote the rules of hip hop, becoming the most influential and controversial rap group last century and, for many, the definitive rap group of all time. Selling millions of records along the way, and building from Run D.M.C's street oriented beats and Boogie Down Productions' proto-gangsta rhyming, Public Enemy pioneered avariation of hardcore rap that was musically and politically revolutionary. Now they throw us a 'curveball' in the shape of this 'special project', created in conjunction with rapper & producer Paris. Why would one of hip-hop's most legendary lyricists recruit another MC to write him an album full of rhymes? .....According to Chuck D, it's an experiment he's been wanting to try for some time, finally realized on Rebirth of a Nation..The album features veteran Bay Area rapper, producer and activist Paris, who not only created the music but also wrote "98 percent" of Chuck's verses!!
