“Sound of da Police” is the second and final single from KRS-One’s first solo album, Return of the Boom Bap. The song is produced by Showbiz from DITC.
Sound Of The Police begins with KRS-One whooping twice to evoke a police siren (the “sound of the police”); this recurs several times throughout the song. Sound Of The Police addresses institutional racism and excessive use of police force, especially against black youths.
