Chuck D is one of the all-time great rap voices, and that comes down entirely to the Golden Age classics that he made with his group Public Enemy. Public Enemy are still going, and they returned to their old label Def Jam to release the album What You Gonna Do When The Grid Goes Down? in 2020. Outside of the group, Chuck has also taken part in things like the Rage Against The Machine quasi-reunion Prophets Of Rage and the godawful rap metal band Konfrontation Kamp. (He’d probably rather forget that one, but I saw them live in 2000, and I can’t let it go.) Chuck has also released a handful of solo albums over the years, the most recent of which is 2018’s Celebration Of Ignorance. Now, with his PE partner Flavor Flav in neverending media-tour mode, Chuck D has gone solo again.
