That approach fits the tone of the album: unfiltered, urgent, and grounded in the same core convictions Chuck D and Flavor Flav have carried for decades. This isn’t It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back or Fear of a Black Planet, but no one with sense expects it to be. That era is locked in history. What this is, though, is a hard-hitting, tightly built record that…
