The Complex 7 The Complex 7: Dead Prez & DJ Green Lantern
Can revolution ever get televised? Neither stic.man nor M-1 seems to care at this point. Dead Prez’s ongoing rants against the political system will always be reflected in its music. And this time, DJ Green Lantern is lending a hand on Pulse Of The People: Turn Off The Radio Vol. 3, set for release tomorrow (June 23). Unlike the previous Turn off the Radio mixtapes, the joint project is an actual full-length LP with all-original Green Lantern production. After building a tight-knit relationship during last summer’s Rock The Bells tour, the two parties agreed to hit the studio. “The whole cohesive thought came together in like three days,” DJ Green Lantern recalls. “[Dead Prez] know what they’re talking about.”
We’re giving Pulse Of The People—whose highlights includes “Don’t Hate My Grind” with Bun B and the uptempo, dancehall-influenced “Gangster, Gangster” featuring Styles P—a definite Complex cosign. And that’s even before the two emcees and one DJ visited our office and had us laughing out of our seats with their hilarious anecdotes. Read on for the Complex 7 as Dead Prez and DJ Green Lantern recall their most embarrassing outfits, the most gutter hoods they’ve ever been to, and the night stic.man got robbed for food stamps. Trust us, you don’t want to miss this…
