Beanie Sigel Tackles Police Brutality in New Song “Still Public Enemy”

0

Beanie Sigel drops a new track to describe the recent events America has faced on “Still Public Enemy” where he grapples with the country’s fatal shootings at the hands of police.

“The revolution will be televised,” he says, a play on words of Gil Scott-Heron’s famous poem and song about the need of change within, which he also wrote after encountering personal tragedy. From there, Sigel vents his frustrations in the wake of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile’s senseless deaths over a StreetRunner-produced beat that was mixed by Young Guru.

?The track uses powerful soundbites to conjure up equally evocative emotions as Sigel calls back to N.W.A. iconic track, “Fuck Tha Police,” that depicted the constant struggle between authorities and L.A. gangs in the late ’80s. The group’s decades old message is more relevant than ever and its meaning here definitely doesn’t go unnoticed.
