Turn Off the Radio: The Mixtape, Volume 2: Get Free or Die Tryin'

dead prez

Gritty, militant hip-hop delivered with the raw urgency of a pirate radio broadcast. A bass-heavy manifesto for survival and resistance.

Find on Amazon

It's the ultimate anti-establishment mixtape that hits harder than most studio albums.

Relentless, confrontational energy with moments of exhausted tenderness.
