Hello and Welcome to Black Pitch, a podcast about music and pop culture. In this series, I will be exploring popular protest music by black artists from the Civil Rights Movement to the 1980s. In this episode, I focus on and dissect Grandmaster Flash and the Furious 5's 'The Message', N.W.A's 'F*ck tha Police', and Public Enemy's 'Fight the Power'.
