dead prez AND THE EVIL GENIUS DJ GREEN LANTERN
JOIN FORCES FOR POWERFUL NEW LP
Pulse of the People hits stores June 23, 2009
Stic.man and M-1, the revolutionary duo who comprise dead prez, combine forces with The Evil Genius DJ Green Lantern for Pulse of The People which is the third installment of their critically acclaimed independent series Turn off the Radio Vol. 3
Dead Prez has been crafting revolutionary but gangsta hip-hop since the late 1990s. Having previously released two major label albums, two volumes of their independent Turn off the Radio series and two solo albums, dead prez’s way of life brand has become an international symbol of substance in hip hop that connects hardcore hip hop heads with the growing movement for liberation, social justice and grassroots empowerment.
Highly acclaimed DJ and producer, The Evil Genius DJ Green Lantern, had reached out to dead prez for contributions to his mixtapes in the past and though the respect was always mutual between the camps, the timing was not yet ripe for a full album collaboration. After the success of the Rock the Bells Tour, that both Green and dpz were featured on, they decided to make the time. And that’s exactly what they did. The three hit the studio in February to create Pulse of The People, “an album with all original songs written by dead prez and produced entirely by DJ Green Lantern, presented in a format that reps the streets and what’s happening in the hearts and minds of the People that don’t get represented in the main stream” explains Stic.man.”
With dead prez’s respect for the quality of DJ Green Lantern’s work as a producer/tastemaker and Green’s new label Invasion Music Group distributed by The Orchard in full support of the project, the Pulse of the People came to life just in time to bang out for the summer and beyond. Named by MTV as 2008’s Mixtape and Radio DJ of the year, the succinct summation of Green’s accomplishments last year alone doesn’t exactly do justice to the magnitude of them. He put together Nas’ Nigger Mixtape, which was a rare official mixtape from the Queensbridge king that served as a middle finger to all those who opposed his controversial Untitled album. He worked on the Barack Obama: Yes We Can mixtape. He also did Royce Da 5’9’s Bar Exam 2 and Immortal Technique’s 3rd World, which cemented the idea that he doesn’t chase the biggest checks, but works with artists he respects.
In addition to going “Green” with this album musically, the politically active dead prez have chosen to have eco-friendly, environmentally responsible packaging surrounding the project. Due in stores June 23, 2009, Pulse Of The People will be released through Green Lantern’s new label, Invasion Music Group / Boss up Inc and features appearances from Styles P, Bun B, K’Naan, Chuck D, and Invasion Music Group’s own Johnny Polygon.
