Public Enemy - It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back (2023 Remaster)

Hitting like a hip-hop apocalypse, It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back found Public Enemy unleashing arguably the greatest hip-hop album ever. The album made them legends and cultural icons: Public Enemy turned life up beyond its normal limits. 

It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back put the group at the forefront of the hip-hop music critics felt was important. Their acclaim was both a benefit and a burden; the album's messages were intended to awaken hip-hop ears and reach the minds of the oppressed, but when the record hit the top of the black albums chart, a lot of the buyers who gave the record its platinum status were educated college kids and white fans.

The album features the singles "Rebel Without a Pause", "Bring the Noise", "Don't Believe the Hype", "Night of the Living Baseheads" and "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos". This new edition is remastered from the original analog tapes and pressed across two LPs for greater fidelity.

Heavyweight double vinyl produced by Def Jam Recordings in 2023.
