On REVOLVERLUTION, Public Enemy remains defiant, still bum-rushing the hip-hop underground 15 years after breaking out as one of the most socially and politically outspoken rap acts in the genre's short history. These hip-hoppers with a mission have consistently held the mainstream in a headlock until it took notice. As the concentric nature of fate would have it, P.E. still sets the standard for the independent rap game (now signed with Koch, also home to KRS-ONE). Their first release since 1999's THERE'S A POISON GOIN' ON involves a virtual community of computer-savvy P.E. devotees (all of whom connect on the Enemy Board of the band's official website) in a very personal way. From the package design and artwork by fans to the inclusion of four remixes created by contest winners, it's truly an interactive affair. REVOLVERLUTION delivers eight new P.E. cuts (most notably "Son Of A Bush," "54321...Boom," and the Professor Griff showcase "What Good Is A Bomb"). In addition there are E-Boarder-selected and mastered live tracks (the timeless anthem "Fight the Power" as well as "Welcome to the Terrordome") that span from 1992 to the band's most recent tour. In short, REVOLVERLUTION finds P.E. in full effect.
