Less than a day after it was announced, he had a heavy hand in writing, what Vh1 considers to be Hip Hop’s greatest song [click to read], Public Enemy frontman Chuck D promotes activism in another way.
Joining R.E.M.‘s Michael Stipe, and various musicians hailing from Rage Against The Machine, The Flaming Lips, Spoon, and others in donating signs, designed and painted by the artists, as protest vehicles for various causes. Paying homage to one of his classic anthems, Chuck D‘s sign, in black paint on white board, reads “‘Bring the Noise’ Protest!”
The signs first appeared in this month’s issue of Under The Radar magazine, and can be seen [here]. The pieces will go to auction September 30, and monies raised will go to War Child International, the outreach charity implemented to help children affected by war.
