Public Enemy are back with their first full-length album in twenty years, the politically-charged “What You Gonna Do When the Grid Goes Down?”
As expected, Chuck D and Flava Flav have a few thoughts on the ongoing state of the world, with their latest album serving as a reflection of sorts. “The question is in the title, which means beware of government tricks,” states Flav, in an interview with Billboard. “And the time and chaos of emergency.” Those willing to step up for their cause and fight the power will discover much to enjoy here, especially the ones seeking a respite from the contemporary sound of today. Yet one thing that cannot be escaped is the political focus, which remains a driving force behind Public Enemy’s music. Should you be feeling particularly rebellious, be sure to dive into What You Gonna Do When The Grid Goes Down, and sound off with your thoughts below.
