Description

A sonic revolution that shook the foundations of hip hop, It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back remains one of the most powerful and politically charged albums ever recorded. This 35th Anniversary Edition is pressed on two heavyweight 180-gram vinyl LPs and housed in a deluxe sleeve with restored artwork and a printed insert. Remastered for analog warmth and clarity, the album’s dense production, layered samples, and incendiary lyrics capture Public Enemy at their most uncompromising. From the rallying cry of “Bring The Noise” to the haunting “Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos,” this edition is essential for collectors and fans of socially conscious rap.

Artist Overview

Led by Chuck D’s commanding voice and Flavor Flav’s chaotic charisma, Public Enemy redefined hip hop as a vehicle for protest and empowerment. With The Bomb Squad’s groundbreaking production and a message that still resonates, Nation Of Millions stands as a cultural landmark — a blueprint for resistance through rhythm.
