Chuck D and Flava Flav bring Public Enemy back once more for a heated "State Of The Union," produced by the legendary DJ Premier.

After a publicized disagreement that threatened the harmony of Public Enemy as we know it turned out to be an elaborate April Fool's Joke, Chuck D and Flava Flav have once again connected with a shared purpose. To destroy Donald Trump's dignity to the best of their ability. Given that the legendary duo have been speaking on societal issues since their inception in the mid-eighties, it's not exactly surprising to see them answering the call once again. This time, they've put together "State Of The Union (STFU)," calling upon the capable hand of DJ Premier to hold down the production.

"Nazi, Gestapo, dictator defender," spits Chuck D, amidst a heated anti-Trump salvo. "It's not what you think, it's what you follow / run for them jewels, drink from that bottle / another four years going to gut ya'll hollow." As for Flava Flav, he opts to keep his contributions as blunt and straightforward as possible: "shut the fuck up, sorry-ass muthafucka, stay away from me!" All the while, Preem fuels the fire with some deadly scratches, adding the final touch of nostalgia to the mix. Check out the new video right here, which was shot "in the dead of night" by a very much active Public Enemy. Are you happy to see Chuck and Flava Flav laying down the law once again?

Nazi, Gestapo, dictator defender
It's not what you think, it's what you follow
Run for them jewels, drink from that bottle
Another four years going to gut ya'll hollow
