Dead Prez is an American hip-hop duo consisting of M-1 and stic.man, formed in New York City in 1996. The group has established itself through a confrontational approach to music, delivering lyrics that emphasize militant social justice, self-determination, and Pan-Africanism. Their work blends hip-hop with soul and reggae influences, positioning them within the conscious hip-hop and political hip-hop movements. Central to Dead Prez's artistic identity is their principled opposition to corporate influence in media and the music industry, particularly regarding record label control over hip-hop culture.
