DEAD PREZ BIOGRAPHY:
dead prez are a critically acclaimed Florida-based political underground hip-hop duo, consisting of alternative rappers stic.man and M-1. They have become known largely for their hard-hitting style and politically active lyrics, focusing on racism, critical pedagogy, activism against governmental hypocrisy, and corporate control over the media, especially hip-hop record labels. dead prez are a pair of rappers inspired by revolutionaries from Malcom X to Public Enemy, and they made their stance clear on their debut album, declaring on the lead song, “I’m a African” and that the group is “somewhere between N. W.A. and Public Enemy”.
M-1 was born Mutulu Olugabala, in Florida. Fellow deadprez member and lontime friend stic.man was born Clayton Gavin, 1975, in Shadeville, Florida. He used to relax on the campus of Florida A&M University (a historically black university) based in Tallahassee, Florida, although he was never enrolled for classes. There he and M-1 met and connected due to their mutual love of music and knowledge. The two comrades’ growing sense of Black pride and political theory served as a common bond as they joined various community groups, eventually forming dead prez as a rap group and moving to New York.
“I was soaking up the Black Panther Party as a whole,” M-1 remembers. “I learned about their lives and it helped mold me.” “I realized there’s a struggle already going on and I have to try to help ride it out,” interjects stic.man.
