Against All Authorities was described by UndergroundHipHop.com as the best-selling CD album of May, named by HipHop4Real as the best EP of 2015 in "Best EP of 2015" and recognized by Hip-Hop Chamber as the best album of 2015 in "Best Album of 2015", beating Dr. Dre's album Compton.

Background

Sticky Fingaz and Fredro Starr recorded a 6 track EP protesting against racial injustice and police brutality. This is straight up dark and vintage hardcore hip hop focusing on the murders and brutality showcased by the police force on African-Americans, racial tensions have reached at high.[4]

"Against All Authorities" is a statement about the current situation in the US of America. Onyx members use their lyrical weaponry to shoot back at the system. Fredro detailed the concept of the release in an interview on "White Label Radio":[5]

"...We giving you our side of this story. We angry because it could be me, it could be anybody in this room. Sad to say no matter how old you are. Every day we gotta turn on the news with different person. Young men still got shot and murdered since we did that album. So I felt like it was time to actually just say something and be aggressive but make a point with our music. We coming from an angry perspective of niggas from Southside Queens who deal with the same shit every day. This is our protest!"

Production

Black Lives Matter has given Fredro and Sticky some incredibly powerful motivation and you can hear it all over the six tracks of this Scopic produced EP.[6] The sound of this release is similar to the Onyx's second album "All We Got Iz Us", released in 1995. The very first beat that Canadian producer Scopic sent to Fredro was "Look Like A Criminal":
"...I sent this beat to everybody! Nobody wanted it. NOBODY!!!! Onyx gave it one listen and said 'YEP! We Rocking This! Let's make an EP together!'."

World tour

In April 2015, in support of a new EP, Fredro and Sticky went on a world tour and visited 20 countries. Also were printed exclusive t-shirts and hoodies with album logos, "Molotov cocktail" and "The anarchy symbol".[7]

Singles

The first single "Against All Authorities" was released on April 21, 2015.[8] The song begins with a recording of Nebraska Senator Ernie Chambers comparing the U.S. police to ISIS, and then Sticky and Fredo assault us with in-your-face, politically astute aggression.[9] It sounds like a call to action against corrupt governments, crooked cops and systematic oppression.[10]

The second single "Strike Bac" featuring Sick Flo was released on April 29, 2015.[11] Onyx encourage people to "strike back". The song is typically tough and grimey, with an appearance from Sick Flo.[12] Fredro Starr about the concept of this songin an interview with Charlie Sloth:[13][14]

"...We just letting you know that police don't get no respect in the hood. We don't respect them because they don't respect us. We're not being ignorant about what we're saying. We being very upset about what's going on. This is Onyx way to expressing our feelings on wax."

Videos

Snowgoons's DJ Sixkay made six visual videos for all tracks from this EP. Also Onyx released two official music videos from this album: "Against All Authorities" and "Fuck Da Law". Both videos were shot by studio "Rome York" in Rome, Italy on April 20, 2015. Onyx dropped visuals for the song "Fuck Da Law" via 2DOPEBOYZ on the day the album was released. The video shows Sticky plays the role of a convict who escaped from prison.[15]

The second video "Against All Authorities" was premiered on 2DOPEBOYZ on June 10, 2015. The video shows how Fredro and Sticky caught and crucified a police officer.[16][17][18]
