On Wednesday, December 10th, legendary East Coast political rap duo dead prez took over The Lodge Room in Los Angeles, bringing an unforgettable night of music and activism. The show celebrated the 25th anniversary of their groundbreaking debut album, Let’s Get Free—an album that cemented their place as icons of socially conscious hip-hop.
Originally signed to Loud Records with support from Lord Jamar, dead prez have long been a force in the underground scene, using their music to challenge the system and inspire change. Fans were treated to a powerhouse performance that spanned their career, from classics off Let’s Get Free to hits from RBG (Revolutionary but Gangsta), Information Age, and Turn Off the Radio.
The energy was electric, the message was clear, and dead prez proved once again why they’re legendary.
The night opened with Opio of the legendary Souls of Mischief and Hieroglyphics setting the tone for an unforgettable evening. Daru Jones also took the stage, delivering his signature drum solo and classic tracks. West Coast legend Ras Kass made a special cameo, performing iconic songs from his acclaimed album Soul on Ice.
