PUBLIC ENEMY DROPS NEW VIDEO

“VIDMash BLACK SKY”

TODAY

Medley of Three Tracks from Latest Album,

“Black Sky Over the Projects: Apartment 2025”

October 24, 2025 — Public Enemy releases “VIDMash BLACK SKY” today, a cinematic medley featuring three tracks from their critically acclaimed album “Black Sky Over the Projects: Apartment 2025”: “Siick,” “Confusion (Here Come The Drums)” and “Evil Ways.” Directed by longtime collaborator David “C-Doc” Snyder, the video mirrors PE’s blend of revolutionary sound and unflinching social commentary, with Flavor Flav and Chuck D delivering a high-voltage performance alongside footage from the group’s 2025 festival and stadium world tour and raw scenes of people under siege by their own government. Watch “VIDMash BLACK SKY” HERE.

“VIDMash BLACK SKY” extends Public Enemy’s legacy as one of music’s most politically charged and creative groups and comes on the heels of the CD and vinyl release of “Black Sky Over the Projects: Apartment 2025” (which followed its digital release in June). A fusion of classic Public Enemy sound and contemporary relevance, “Black Sky Over the Projects” is also available in three exclusive vinyl variants: “Earth” (Barnes & Noble/Natural Black Swirl Opaque Mix vinyl), “Wind” (MVDShop.com/Light Gray Marble Opaque Mix vinyl, Exclusive Artist-Signed Edition), and “Fire” (Zia Records/Blood Orange Opaque Mix vinyl). Order the CD HERE (CD) and the vinyl HERE.

Public Enemy’s classic albums are the soundtrack to hip-hop’s rise as social and political commentary. Their debut record,”Yo! Bum Rush The Show,” was named Album of the Year by NME, with Rolling Stone declaring that the release “heralded hip-hop’s great leap forward” and The New York Times calling Public Enemy “the voice of a community.”

Their sophomore effort, 1988’s “It Takes a Nation of Millions To Hold Us Back,” is one of the most important records ever made and was named to The New York Times list of 25 Most Significant Albums of the Last Century. “Fear of a Black Planet” featured Public Enemy’s signature song, “Fight The Power,” used by Spike Lee in his film “Do The Right Thing.” The album also included the powerful “911 Is a Joke” and “Welcome To The Terrordome.” “Apocalypse 91…The Enemy Strikes Black” carried on the group’s legacy, reaching #4 on the album chart and going platinum. The record included “By the Time I Get To Arizona,” demanding that America confront race relations after the state’s governor refused to recognize the new Martin Luther King, Jr. national holiday. In 2012, Public Enemy’s “Harder Than You Think” went to #1 on the UK urban and indie singles chart and to #4 on the official UK singles chart, their tenth Top 40 hit in England and their highest charting single ever.

By 2020, Public Enemy were tapped to open the BET Awards with a remix of “Fight The Power,” where they were joined by Nas, Rapsody, The Roots, YG and Jahi in a fiery protest against the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and countless others at the hands of police officers. The critically acclaimed album, “What You Gonna Do When The Grid Goes Down,” was released that year on Def Jam and featured guest performances by the Beastie Boys’ Mike D and Ad-Rock, George Clinton, Cypress Hill, Ice-T, PMD, Run-DMC and more.
