1) Prophets of Rage is… Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name:
1) Prophets of Rage is an American rap rock supergroup. Formed in 2016, the group consists of three members of Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave (bassist and backing vocalist Tim Commerford, guitarist Tom Morello, and drummer Brad Wilk), two members of Public Enemy (DJ Lord and rapper Chuck D), and rapper B-Real of Cypress Hill.
Morello declared to Rolling Stone: "We're an elite task force of revolutionary musicians determined to confront this mountain of election year bullshit, and confront it head-on with Marshall stacks blazing."
The band's name derives from the title of the Public Enemy song "Prophets of Rage" from its 1988 album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back. To coincide with the band's protest performance at the Republican National Convention, it released its debut single, titled "Prophets of Rage". The band played its first live show on January 20, 2016.
From May 2016 through October 2016, the band embarked on a North American tour, dubbed the "Make America Rage Again Tour". The set list combined the catalogues of each of the band members' current and former groups, as well as new material written by the band. There is a "Make the World Rage Again" tour scheduled for 2017.
An EP The Party’s Over was released on August 19, 2016. Alongside the songs Prophets of Rage and The Party’s Over, the EP contains live cover versions of the songs "Killing in the Name" (Rage Against the Machine), "Shut 'Em Down" (Public Enemy) and "No Sleep 'til Cleveland", a rework of "No Sleep 'til Brooklyn" by the Beastie Boys. The EP was produced by Brendan O'Brien.
On June 1, 2017, the band released a single with accompanying music video for the track "Unfuck the World" from their album Prophets of Rage released September 15, 2017 on CD and vinyl. The band released the second single from the album titled "Living on the 110" on July 11, 2017. On July 22, 2017, the band released the third single, "Radical Eyes".
2) Rico Pabón has kept his soul intact through music as the lead member of Prophets of Rage (POR) and as MC for San Francisco Bay Area Afro-Latin Hip Hop band Agua Libre (formerly O-Maya). 1994 saw the first release from POR, No More Patience. In 1997, after the release of their sophomore offering, Brand New World, POR seemed poised for a national breakthrough. Their single, Memories, was in heavy rotation at urban radio stations around the country, including San Francisco's KMEL. Unfortunately, despite airplay and critical acclaim, national prominence eluded the group as their music was buried in the rubble of music industry restructuring.

Everything changed yet nothing's changed
Bold is change, everything looking strange, yeah
Engineers got millennials livin' in fear
Give a damn, evil can't stand, yeah
When the people take a stand

Do not submit blindly to those in power
Buy them lie them deny it all day
Those in power will try to manipulate and hide the truth
In a box they locked in the dead lay

Bombs droppin on cities where kids play
The innocent are often caught in the crossfire of war
Soldiers fallin in the name of freedom hey

Civilians buried in the rubble where dreams die
Many people are losing their lives and their dreams
Politicians spew lie after fuckin lie

I'm elated to get y'all elevated
I'm excited to help you rise up and improve
God remains God yeah and they hate it
Some people hate the notion of a higher power
On your knees people
We need to humble ourselves and be open to learning
Pledge allegiance to the evil
We should be careful about blindly following those in power
Everything changed yet nothing's changed
Things may appear different, but the root issues remain unsolved
Bold is change, everything looking strange, yeah
True change is often difficult and comes with unexpected consequences
Engineers got millennials livin' in fear
Technology is being used to control and manipulate people
Give a damn, evil can't stand, yeah
We need to care and take action to overcome evil
When the people take a stand
When people unite and take action
C'mon!
Let's do this!
Unfuck the world!
Let's make the world a better place!
Unfuck the world!
Let's make the world a better place!
Unfuck the world!
Let's make the world a better place!
Unfuck the world!

I'm the straw that broke the camel's back
I am the final straw that led to action being taken
The gun in the car jack
I am the weapon being used to combat the problem
The night stick that keeps crackin' down
I am the force being used to bring about change
The resistance never backing down
We will continue to resist and fight for change, no matter what
