In this episode, we take a closer look at one of the most underrated and important albums in hip-hop, dead prez's 2000 debut 'Let's Get Free'. Although the lead single, Hip Hop, is well known - even making it into a VW advert - but the rest of the album is embarrassingly slept-on.

Sunny and Marcus pick through the tracks and explore some of the themes within what is initially a straight-forward album, and discover layers of complexity and depth.

Let's Get Free is dead prez's debut album, released in 2000 by Loud Records. It is unapologetically militant, socialist and pan-Africanist in nature. It is also a complicated, sometimes contradictory album. Although it could be argued that sometimes the music lets it down, and M1 and stic.man are not the best MCs (note: they're still damn good), this album is one of the most important releases in music. Of all genres.
