Body Count isn’t about political parties and today it releases the music video to “Fuck What You Heard,”  a blistering anthem that takes aim at the nation’s political landscape. With its unrelenting hook of “Democrips and Bloodpublicans,” Ice-T delivers a provocative critique from his independent perspective. “I have friends across the aisle,” Ice-T explains, “but my views are balanced and unapologetic.”

Through a seamless blend of footage, the music video highlights the chaotic and often brutal clashes that have come to characterize the current political climate of the U.S.

“Fuck What You Heard” is a track off Body Count’s forthcoming album, Merciless. Their last release, Carnivore, was released in 2020 and earned the band a Grammy for Best Metal Performance. The band recently finished their EU/UK Merciless Tour, and will headline at the Louder Than Life Festival in Louisville, KY, and the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, CA. this fall. Tickets are available HERE. See below for itinerary.
