Dead Prez x Bun B x Reek Da Villain - "Time Travel" (Remix)

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

dead prez's Information Age received some mixed reviews when it dropped last October. Comparisons to Enya were made. And while the beats have undeniably strayed from classic dead prez style, M1 and stic.man do what they always do; lyrically motivate, organize, and rally their listeners.  "Time Travel"--with its positively Weezy-ish, sizzurp drenched hook--is a case in point, an update of their approach on "Bigger Than Hip-Hop" formula in the sense that they prefer to spit their revolutionary but gangsta-isms over the latest street sounds (it's worth remembering that the dirty-south bass groove of what is now acknowledged as among their most classic tracks definitely threw off some of dead prez's Rawkus-reared listeners at the time). Now, they've dropped a posse-cut remix for the track featuring Bun B of UGK and Brooklyn newcomer Reek Da Villain, who is currently under the tutelage of Busta Rhymes. Bun B takes point, before the others jump in and talk about everything they want to see and do in the past, present, and future. This version of "Time Travel" can be found on the deluxe edition of Information Age which you can cop here. Listen below and judge for yourself.
