Public Enemy recently announced that they will be celebrating their 25th anniversary as a rap group by releasing two new albums scheduled to drop this summer and later in the fall. The albums are being released using money that they gained from fundraising campaigns, apparently. They are titled Most of My Heroes Still Don't Appear on No Stamp and The Evil Empire of Everything. They were described by Chuck D as being "two halves of a larger conceptual piece."
Chuck D commented more on the decision to release the two albums:
"The statement with these albums ... is in the audacity of the release. Just like, 'What the hell?' One deals with the whole movement of people...and the other deals with the situation of everything coming at you at once, like a blizzard."
There isn't any release date set on the calendars just yet, but the albums are set to feature Brother Ali, Henry Rollins, Tom Morello, DMC, and others.
