Let’s Get Free Tracklist
Let’s Get Free is the debut studio album by the hip-hop duo dead prez. It was released March 14, 2000, on Loud Records & Columbia Records, under distribution from Relativity Records.
The album was critically acclaimed upon its first release, Let’s Get Free was called a “return to politically conscious rap” and, “the most politically conscious rap since Public Enemy”; the duo’s messages also earned them favourable comparisons with Brand Nubian, The Coup, Def Jef and X-Clan.
The album’s lyrics, performed in front of sparse beats that many critics derided as a “dull musical backdrop” are startlingly direct, militant and confrontational. M-1 and stic.man criticize the media, the music industry, politicians and poverty, and urge their target audience to study socialism and ideas of black power.
