Which Public Enemy album includes the 1989 single “Fight the Power”?

Public Enemy’s album containing the 1989 single “Fight the Power” is Fear of a Black Planet.

Def Jam Recordings released the album on April 10, 1990. “Fight the Power” had already appeared in 1989 on the soundtrack to Spike Lee’s film Do the Right Thing, where it became closely associated with the movie’s political themes and Brooklyn setting.

Fear of a Black Planet is known for dense, layered production by the Bomb Squad. Its songs address racism, media power, Black identity, and political organization. Other notable tracks include “Welcome to the Terrordome,” “911 Is a Joke,” and “Brothers Gonna Work It Out.”

Listeners sometimes associate “Fight the Power” with Public Enemy’s earlier album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back, but the single belongs to Fear of a Black Planet. The album reached number 10 on the Billboard 200.
