Dead Prez hits the studio with Nas

By: Yves Erwin Salomon

M-1 and Stic.man of Dead Prez have been keeping busy. The duo recently spent some time in the studio with Nas. M-1 told MTV.com, "We've done quite a few songs with Nas. We have had a relationship for years. Stic had did a song with just him on it. And I did a song with just me and Nas on it. I don't know when it'll surface yet."

The group is currently between labels but they've recorded with KRS-One and Dr. Cornell West. M-1 shared the duo's stance on some recent controversies, such as the Sean Bell shooting and the Don Imus firing. He said, "People don't have political clarity. And young people are not clear on their positions and not able to speak. I don't know if you consider me young or not. I can tell you my position comes from an informed political stand. ... A lot of positions are ambiguous. ... The leadership has not emerged to be present enough to speak out ... I'd be interested to see who does have a position that could give clarity to what is happening now."

The rapper added, "Al (Sharpton) and Russell (Simmons). I think they are more into ambulance-chasing than actually grinding out (a) position that makes sense. I think it'll take some sincere forces that don't have any interest in anything other than changing our community and making things better."

M-1 is currently working on a multi-media project titled, Birth of a Nation, while Stic.man puts the finishing touches on his solo debut.

Big props, one of the best political groups in Hip Hop and one of the best political solo artists in Hip Hop coming together to make some good music, it’s definitely a positive outlook for the whole genre, and I think the results will bear fruition. It all sounds really on point, and it’s great to see genuinely talented artists working hard at releasing strong records. Plus, Dead Prez and Nas are crazy artists, lyrically on point and they know where they’ve came from initially, all the best to them.
