2023 marks the 50th anniversary of hip hop, a cultural and political movement that started in the Bronx and went global. As a founding member and main MC for Public Enemy, Chuck D was a pioneer of the movement, with his booming baritone rapping on seminal tracks like Fight The Power, highlighting social issues affecting Black communities. He's remained a revolutionary voice in hip-hop and co-produced a four-part documentary series Fight The Power: How Hip Hop Changed The World. He's also launched culture media app Bring the Noise. A recipient of a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, Chuck D was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2013.
