Rebirth of a Nation is a studio album by American hip hop group Public Enemy featuring Paris, released on March 7, 2006. The album was mixed and mastered at Data Stream Studio in San Francisco, California.
Despite the Public Enemy branding on the album, many tracks were written and produced by Paris; the album itself was deemed a "special project" by Chuck D in order to differentiate it from other Public Enemy works. The album was released on Paris's own Guerrilla Funk label.
The title of the album is a reference to the 1915 white supremacist film The Birth of a Nation as well as one of the group's prior albums, It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back.
The album features appearances and guest spots by Dead Prez, Immortal Technique, Conscious Daughters, MC Ren, Sista Souljah, and Kam.
The album sold 5,592 units in its first week out.
