Dead Prez is the pair of underground alternative rappers, Stic.Man and M-1. They have become known for their hard-hitting style and politically-aware lyrics, focusing on racism, critical pedagogy, and activism against governmental hypocrisy, and corporate control over the media, especially hip-hop record labels. In 1990, M-1 headed to Tallahassee to attend FAMU (Florida Agricultural and Mechanical University) where he and Sticman met and connected due to their mutual love of music and knowledge.

"I realized there's a struggle already going on and I have to try to help ride it out," interjects Stic.man
