The soundscape proudly throws it back to the Golden Age of hip-hop\u2014which he helped pioneer. At the same time, he adopts a fiery and fresh flow evocative of his signature delivery, yet simultaneously future-facing. He tips his hat to this era as he urges, \u201cAnd don\u2019t forget, \u2018New Gens\u2019, I love y\u2019all, have a ball.\u201d He still remains rap\u2019s most poetic and prescient provocateur though, going on to muse, \u201cWe don\u2019t know what\u2019s behind the race, right here right now, the place to be.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It serves as the perfect prelude to Radio Armageddon, a 14-track opus that finds Chuck D in top form. Special guests include Daddy-O of Stetsasonic, Schoolly D, Philadelphia hip hop legend Phill Most Chill, Donald D and Jazzy Jay of the Universal Zulu Nation, hip hop\u2019s first hype woman 1\/2 Pint, ULTRAMAG7, NYC\u2019s Miranda Writes and artists from Chuck\u2019s own SpitSLAM Record Label Group: The Impossebulls and Blak Madeen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Threaded together by transmissions from \u201cEnemy Radio,\u201d he turns the dial to one knockout banger after another. Following the intro \u201cRadio Armageddon,\u201d a jagged guitar riff kickstarts the hard-hitting \u201cWhat Rock Is.\u201d As if teasing what to expect across the LP, he proclaims, \u201cPhilosophy, politics, rebellion, recovery, gimmicks, magic, inspiration, music.\u201d Feedback echoes on \u201cBlack Don\u2019t Dead,\u201d and a slick beat bounces in tandem with his incendiary delivery punctuated by elastic rhymes. Among other standouts, \u201cIs God She\u201d layers jarring vocal echoes over a thumping bassline and otherworldly scratching and samples. Chuck D\u2019s razor-sharp cadence cuts through the haze as he wonders, \u201cIs God she?\u201d Then, there\u2019s \u201cCarry On,\u201d which revolves around a classic lyrical masterclass and off-kilter groove. The trip concludes with the broken-sounding synths, warbly sampling, and spacey exhale of \u201cSigning Off,\u201d providing a fitting finale.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Radio Armageddon Tracklist:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1.
