Public Enemy’s Black Sky Over The Projects: Apartment 2025 Has A CD & Vinyl Release Date

Public Enemy’s surprise album, Black Sky Over The Projects: Apartment 2025, released over the summer, will be released on CD and vinyl next month. Their 16th album is the first in five years and was their way of thanking fans. “This album is a give-back to all of our fans with gratitude and appreciation,” says Chuck D, “we see and appreciate you.” “We’re bringing our beats to the world with this album,” adds Flavor Flav. It’s been three plus decades since the group released their groundbreaking political missives It Takes A Nation Of Millions to Hold Us Back and Fear Of A Black Planet. Both albums were a response to a late ’80s and early ’90s world but they are even more relevant in 2025. Black Sky has the same spirit of truth as Chuck D and Flavor Flav are still observing the world’s shortcomings. They also take the time to celebrate music  so the album is not all social critiques. 

The vinyl release of Black Sky Over The Projects: Apartment 2025 has three versions: “Earth” (Barnes & Noble/Natural Black Swirl Opaque Mix vinyl), “Wind” (MVDShop.com/Light Gray Marble Opaque Mix vinyl, Exclusive Artist-Signed Edition), and “Fire” (Zia Records/Blood Orange Opaque Mix vinyl). Pre-order the CDHERE (CD) and the vinylHERE. You can also pre-order the CD and vinyl via Amazon. Both versions will be available on October 10th.
