“Against Us” will be available for download on iTunes next Tuesday, October 14, the same day Dee-1 will appear on The Cypher, the 2014 BET Hip Hop Awards.

Dee-1, the politically inclined rapper born David Augustine who graced the cover of the March 2012 issue of OffBeat, doesn’t disappoint with his new single.

Kicking things off with the Biblical message “Forgive them, for they know not what they do,” Dee-1 dives into a myriad of social and political issues.

Check out our exclusive premiere of the lyric video for “Against Us” below, and be sure to catch Dee-1 on the BET Hip Hop Awards on October 14.
