Powers Fought: Prophets of Rage drop debut single ahead of Republican National Convention

Just in time for this week’s Republican National Convention in Cleveland, rap-rock supergroup Prophets of Rage have released their debut single. It’s also called “Prophets of Rage”, and it’s a reboot of the 1988 Public Enemy song of the same name, which first appeared on landmark album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back.

Listen to it below, and be sure to stick around until the very end for a quick “Bring The Noise” sample.

Prophets of Rage features members of Rage Against the Machine, Public Enemy, and Cypress Hill, and the band are set to perform in the backyard of the RNC tomorrow night (July 19) at Agora in Cleveland. A month later, they embark on their 30-date “Make American Rage Again” tour, which rolls into the XFinity Center in Mansfield on August 21.

Pitchfork notes that “Prophets of Rage” (the single) will be featured on a new EP due later this year, and Prophets of Rage (the band) will perform the track come July 25 on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

So look for that.
