Dead Prez live in London - 03/08/2011

On August 3rd 2011, Dead Prez played at a busy Relentless Garage club (in Highbury, London) and treated us to a great show that lasted over 1 1/2 hours, fuelled by some of their classic cuts like "Hip Hop" and "Mind Sex", and by tracks off their new-ish "Revolutionary But Gangsta Grillz" mixtape ("The Beauty Within", "Malcom Garvey Huey,"...). The crowd loved it, we loved it, and no doubt there's some footage to share with y'all so enjoy!
