about this song

“Sound of da Police“ is a song by American rapper KRS-One. Recorded at D&D Studios in New York City with production handled by Showbiz, it was released in December 1993 as the second and final single from KRS-One's debut solo studio album Return of the Boom Bap. It peaked at number 89 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song criticizes police brutality and systemic racism. It begins with KRS-One whooping twice to evoke a police siren (the "sound of the police"); this recurs several times throughout the song.
