Public Enemy is an American hip hop group formed by Chuck D and Flavor Flav on Roosevelt, New York, in 1985. The group rose to prominence for their political messages including subjects such as American racism and the American media. Their debut album, Yo! Bum Rush the Show, was released in 1987 to critical acclaim, and their second album, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back (1988), was the first hip hop album to top The Village Voice‘s Pazz & Jop critics’ poll. Their next three albums, Fear of a Black Planet (1990), Apocalypse 91… The Enemy Strikes Black(1991) and Muse Sick-n-Hour Mess Age (1994), were also well received. The group has since released twelve more studio albums, including the soundtrack to the 1998 sports-drama film He Got Game and a collaborative album with Paris, Rebirth of a Nation(2006).

“Give It Up” is a song by American hip hop group Public Enemy, released in August 1994 by Def Jam Recordings as the first single from their fifth album, Muse Sick-n-Hour Mess Age (1994). It was their highest-peaking song on the US Billboard Hot 100, reaching number 33.
