Dead Prez is an underground hip-hop duo which formed in 1996 in New York City, New York, United States, consisting of rapper Stic.Man and M-1.
Famous for their confrontational style, combined with socialist lyrics focused on both militant social justice, and also positivity, Dead Prez maintain an ethical stance against corporate control over the media, especially hip-hop record labels.
Their social consciousness and style influences not only fans, but other artists. Kanye West considered them important role models: "It wasn't until I hung out with Dead Prez and understood how to make, you know, raps with a message sound cool that I was able to just write "All Falls Down" in 15 minutes."
