About Prophets of Rage

Prophets of Rage is the self-titled, and only full-length studio album by American rap rock supergroup Prophets of Rage, consisting of three members of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave (bassist and backing vocalist Tim Commerford, guitarist Tom Morello, and drummer Brad Wilk), Public Enemy's DJ Lord and rapper Chuck D, and Cypress Hill rapper B-Real. The group formed in 2016 with a mission to "confront the injustices and be the soundtrack of resistance," and the primary message of Prophets of Rage is only the people themselves can solve the world's problems. Released on September 15, 2017, by Fantasy Records, Prophets of Rage garnered very divided reviews, with favorable reviews praising the chemistry between the members of the supergroup and the harshness of the LP and critics that disliked the album panning the vague, one-dimensional lyrics. Commercially, however, the album debuted at number 16 on the American Billboard 200 chart, selling more than 21,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release, and also landed in the top 20 of charts of several European countries more »
