"Rebirth of a Nation" was Public Enemy's 11th studio album. "Remix of a Nation" is a remixed version of the LP. It is also the first album where frontman Chuck D delegated most of the writing & all of the production duties. Bay Area-based rapper Paris serves as chief lyricist and producer/remixer for this project, and it's released on his own Guerrilla Funk label.
Paris manages to bring out the best in Chuck, Flavor Flav and Professor Griff on the LP's tracks. Rebirth's rhythm tracks take cues from Public Enemy's early releases, updated with the decidedly funk-driven soundscapes that Paris is known for.
This is a decidedly 'west coast' album for a group largely identified with the New York City movement in hip-hop.
