“Let’s Get Free” is the debut album from Dead Prez – the hip hop duo of stic.man and M-1. The album was received well by both critics and their audience. Rolling Stone gave the album a rating of 4 out of 5 stars, and declared that the duo’s self described style of being "somewhere in between N.W.A and PE” is limiting. The album comments on the public education system, the commercialization of the hip hop industry, self-destruction in the black community, black liberation, socialism, the existence of God, and even eating healthily. One of the most popular songs from the album is "Hip Hop" in which they rap "You would rather have a Lexus? or justice? a dream? or some substance? A Beamer? a necklace? or freedom?" Another popular song is "I'm an African." This excerpt from the song proves their distrust and unhappiness with the government.

Bounce to this, socialist movement
My environment made me the nigga I am
Uncle Sam came and got me and arrested my fam
Try to infiltrate and murder off the best of my clan
I'm not American, punk, Democrat, or Republican
Remember that, most of the cats we know, be hustlin
My momma work, all her life and still strugglin
I blame it on the government and say it on the radio
And if you don't already know
All these Uncle Tom ass kissin niggas gotta go

M-1 had attended Florida Agriculture and Mechanical University where he met stic.man. They quickly realized that they could use their love of music and their knowledge of politics to make a positive change, so they turned their thoughts into lyrics and began rapping about the injustices they saw around them. They are still considered one of the most revolutionary and politically charged groups.
