Posted on 07. May, 2010 by jaycie in Buzz

Public Enemy’s “By the Time I Get to Arizona” has been remade into a protest song against Arizona’s new immigration law. The Arizona rappers behind the new tune are Queen YoNasDa , DJ John Blaze, Yung Face, Tajji Sharp, Mr. Miranda, Ocean, Atllas, Da’aron Anthony, Chino D, Nyhtee, Rich Rico, Pennywise, and Da Beast.
Queen YoNasDa, who was a strong force behind “Hip Hop 4 Haiti,” said, “I requested the help of Arizona’s finest hip-hop artists to remake Public Enemy’s `By the Time I get to Arizona’ to show the world that Arizona’s hip-hop community will not stand for this injustice and will unite our talent to demonstrate our activist roles and responsibility. All you need is one mic.”
