It was sonically unlike anything I'd ever heard before. I was like, ‘This is great!’ It was political, it was angry. But I listen to the whole thing and I was like, ‘This shit is crazy.’ ‘Black Steel In The Hour Of Chaos’, ‘Night Of The Living Baseheads’.

It was a song they did for the movie that actually ended up being so successful that they put it on their next album. So I'm looking into the liner notes, and I realise that ‘Fight The Power’ isn't on the album. They had the lyrics, which is part of why I try to put those in my records because that really helped me acclimate myself to rap music. I bought the cassette, I walked home, put that joint on, and started looking through the liner notes. I didn't even check it, you know, I just knew it was the new Public Enemy. So, the first piece of music I ever got with my own money was a Public Enemy cassette. My mom was like, ‘No, I'm not buying you a t-shirt with a gun sight on it.’ And I was like ‘Aw, man!’ I had been in Amsterdam, going back and forth from Zimbabwe and I had wanted a Public Enemy T-shirt. Flavor Flav, the Nation of Islam… I was like, ‘Wow, this is crazy.’ After that, I was like, ‘I have to hear this.’ I had heard of Public Enemy before, actually, when I was younger. At the end of the VHS version it had a video, I think shot in Fort Greene, for ‘Fight The Power’ with Public Enemy marching in the streets and doing the song. The movie was just really powerful, and then the music, of course. Though I was born here, it was really me finding out about America on the fly. They went to the video store and got movies, and one of them was Do The Right Thing. At the end of 1989 we’d moved back and we were staying with some family friends, Jamaican Americans, in the DMV area right outside of Washington, D.C. This is the origin story for me and hip hop music, really.
