They call themselves dead presidents, and for good reason. M-1 and stic.man are leading the charge towards a topic that seems to be a dead issue in rap – the necessities in life. In conjunction with 7G Entertainment founded by Lord Jamar of Brand Nubian, dead prez offer an alternative to the common pursuits of short term grandeur. Inspired by self defense parties such as the Black Panthers, dead prez is the most politically conscious music group since Public Enemy. They speak the song of Huey and Malcolm with such a modern day pulse that it grabs your attention and broadens your perspective on life.

Dead prez elevate themselves through the knowledge of yesterday and its significance in the present day. The symbol in their logo comes from an ancient Chinese oracle called the I-Ching (the book of change). This system was used by the wise men and women of China some three thousand years ago, as a means of analyzing reality and perfecting the art of foresight. That process of change is symbolized in their music, and they believe there is a common link between all historically oppressed people.

Obviously the first interpretation of the term dead prez (dead presidents) is the six inch paper. But for stic.man (the yang) and M-1 (the yin), dead prez represent a spectrum beyond capitalism, addressing the common issues of the most endangered members of human society. These mothefuckers ain’t playing. Stay tuned…
