The hashtag refers to a song on Rage's self-titled 1992 album, while Prophets Of Rage is a Public Enemy Song.

Now, according to Billboard, some members of Rage, Public Enemy Cypress Hill and Public Enemy are set to form a supergroup.

A source told the outlet that three-quarters of RATM - guitarist Tom Morello, bassist Tim Commerford and drummer Brad Wilk - will join Public Enemy’s Chuck D and Cypress Hill’s B-Real.

They added that Zack de la Rocha will not be involved in the project.

With the countdown due to end on 1 June, however, we don't have very long to wait for confirmation.
