The band was formed by rapper Jared Gomes, also known as "M.C.U.D." (MC Underdog), and guitarist Wes Geer, who became friends amidst the Orange County hardcore punk scene. Gomes and Geer recruited guitarist Chizad, bassist Mawk, drummer B.C. Vaught and DJ Product © 1969. They named the group "Hed", which stands for "higher education". The band built a following with their energetic performances at local venues, and released the self-financed extended play, Church of Realities. Legal issues forced Hed to change their name, adding PE, which stood for Planet Earth.

DJ Product © 1969 (Doug Boyce) — turntables (1994-current)

The song "Hangman" by (hed) Planet Earth is an energetic and confrontational track that blends a variety of musical styles, including hip hop, trip hop, and punk rock. The lyrics are characterized by a rebellious attitude and an emphasis on unity and solidarity, particularly among the marginalized and oppressed. Throughout the song, the MCs rap about their experiences with poverty, drug addiction, and the prison industrial complex, as well as their commitment to breaking down barriers and fighting for justice.
The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the track, as the MCs discuss their need to get high before jumping into the "cut" (a slang term for a car) with their crew. From there, the song becomes a call to action, with the group urging listeners from all walks of life to join them on a mission of unity and resistance. They challenge any "punk head" who isn't down with their message, and declare their intention to keep pushing forward no matter what obstacles they face.
One of the most powerful moments in the song comes near the end, as the MCs rap about the struggles of their friends and family members who have been caught up in the criminal justice system. They speak candidly about the pain of watching loved ones go to prison, and the anger and frustration that arises when faced with a system that seems rigged against them. Despite these struggles, however, the MCs remain committed to their cause, and they urge listeners to join them in the fight for justice and liberation.
