Which hip hop group recorded the 1990 concept album 'Fear of a Black Planet'?

The hip hop group that recorded the 1990 concept album Fear of a Black Planet is Public Enemy.

Released on April 10, 1990, Fear of a Black Planet was Public Enemy’s third studio album. It was produced by the Bomb Squad, whose dense, sample-heavy production gave the record a layered and confrontational sound. Chuck D delivered the group’s politically charged lyrics, while Flavor Flav provided comic relief and contrasting energy.

The album explores racism, media power, interracial relationships, racial paranoia, and Black identity. Its best-known tracks include “Fight the Power,” “Welcome to the Terrordome,” and “911 Is a Joke.” The album followed It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back and helped establish politically outspoken rap as a major force in popular music.

The title is sometimes misunderstood as a literal fantasy about Black world domination. Its central idea is instead the fear and racial anxiety that shape how different groups perceive one another.
