Public Enemy - ‘New Whirl Odor’

'New Whirl Odor', Public Enemy's first new album since 2002's 'Revolverlution' and the first full studio album since 1999's, 'There's A Poison Goin' On', will be released on their own SLAMJamz Records (via Proper Distribution) this winter. Named after what front man Chuck D calls "today's ball of confusion," the album is set to hit hard and heavy nationwide on 5th December.

With messages that continue to address weighty issues about race, rage and inequality woven with a jolting combination of intelligence and eloquence, Public Enemy have long been lauded as one of the most important acts in not just hip hop, but in all of music.


Their new album lives up to their self-imposed obligation to be the voice of the underrepresented, with jarring songs like 'Revolution', 'What A Fool Believes', 'New Whirl Odor' and 'Preachin' To The Quiet'. 'Check What You're Listening To' is dedicated to the late Jam Master Jay (Run DMC) and 'MKLVFKWR' (recorded with Moby for the 2004 Olympics). One of the standout tracks is the epic 11 minute, 'Superman's Black In The Building', whose sweeping jazz, blues and hip hop orchestration closes 'New Whirl Odor'.
