Public Enemy · Hip-Hop/Political Rap
Public Enemy's debut album for Def Jam, produced by the earliest incarnation of the Bomb Squad (Hank Shocklee, Bill Stephney, Chuck D), introduced Chuck D's booming vocal delivery and Terminator X's turntablism a year before It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back made them a genre-defining act.
