Shortly after returning home from a European tour, Prophets Of Rage — Public Enemy’s Chuck D and DJ Lord, Cypress Hill’s B-Real and Rage Against The Machine’s Tim Commerford, Tom Morello and Brad Wilk — are back with a new video.

Titled “Pop Goes The Weapon,” the track takes aim at America’s mass shooting epidemic with B-Real handling the bulk of the vocal duties.
