Chuck D is the leader and co-founder of Public Enemy and an accomplished speaker. He is also on Rolling Stones 50 most important performers in rock & roll history.Chuck D is also a national spokesperson for “Rock the Vote” a non-profit, non-partisan organization, founded in 1990 by MTV in response to a wave of attacks on freedom of speech and artistic expression. The initiative works to mobilize people to create positive social and political change in their lives and communities.
