In a recent interview with MTV News, conscious Hip Hop duo Dead Prez revealed details of their numerous collabos with Queens MC, Nas.
“We’ve done quite a few songs with Nas,” said M-1. “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.”
Though the duo’s voice has been relatively absent in the mist of controversy such as the Don Imus Scandal and the Sean Bell Shooting, M-1 says he and Sticman have their fair share to say.
“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,” said M.”
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”
“Al [Sharpton] and Russell [Simmons],” he continued. “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.”
The duo, who are currently looking for a label to release their next joint project will be releasing a couple of records in the near future.
Stic is currently putting the finishing touches on his solo lp.
