Ask nicely and you might also get to hear a track or four from their 2007 return to form, How You Sell Soul To A Soulless People Who Sold Their Soul?

They deliver their revolutionary polemic via brilliantly thumping turntablism, the immense thunderclap of a live drummer, deliciously vicious guitars and, of course, the mesmerising showmanship of Chuck D, Flavor Flav and Professor Griff themselves.
