Public Enemy Releases Protest Song March Madness Supporting Gun Violence Funds

Public Enemy released a new protest song, "March Madness," in honor of Juneteenth, addressing gun violence, political corruption, and social issues in the U.S. The track features collaborations with students from Harvard, Berklee, and Howard Universities and opens with a 911 call highlighting the recurring trauma of school shootings. Flavor Flav condemns ongoing global conflicts and domestic challenges while emphasizing the importance of using their platform for positive change. Chuck D critiques the normalization of gun violence and the ineffectiveness of lawmakers influenced by the NRA, calling for urgent action to treat gun violence as an epidemic. Proceeds from the song will benefit the Black Music Action Coalition Human Rights Fund and Everytown, an anti-gun violence nonprofit. Public Enemy continues to tour internationally, maintaining their decades-long commitment to activism through music.
