Watch the animated video ‘Public Enemy Number Won’ by Public Enemy

Public Enemy has released a new video for “Public Enemy Number Won”. The animated clip features Mike D and Ad-Rock from the Beastie Boys as well as Run-DMC. The track appears on Public Enemy’s 15th studio album, What are you gonna do when the gate goes down?, which fell in September.

The album marks Public Enemy’s return to Def Jam Recordings, which receives a scream on the lyrics and the label’s logo is featured in the clip. The visual also includes archival posters, photos, and images as a background for the animated versions of the crew delivering their rhymes. The video ends with a tribute to the late Run-DMC member Jam Master Jay and the Beastie Boys MCA.

“The song is a tribute to ‘Public Enemy No. 1’ and this point in time,” Chuck D said in a statement. “The Beastie Boys and Run-DMC played it all the time and Rick Rubin kept coming to us to sign with Def Jam. So that’s my way of bringing it all together again.

The “Public Enemy Number One” video follows their previously released animated visual for “Grid” with Cypress Hill and George Clinton, which they dropped last month.
