Chuck D and the state of Arizona just don't mix. As Billboard points out, "Tear Down That Wall" is a new track by the Public Enemy MC in which he harshly criticizes the state's new controversial immigration laws, likening them to "Gestapo border control." Chuck D tells Billboard, "The governor is a Hitler."
Chuck famously tussled with the southwestern state in 1991 when Public Enemy released "By the Time I Get to Arizona", which criticized Arizona for not recognizing Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday as a national holiday.
In other Public Enemy news, Billboard reports that the group will release a box set, Bring the Noise Hits, Vids and Docs 3" collecting PE's work since leaving Def Jam. And as previously reported, the new Public Enemy album is being funded by fans via SellaBand. Billboard adds that it will feature guest shots from Tom Morello, Rise Against, and Z-Trip.
