Rap Against Dictatorship (RAD) is a Thai political hip hop group that mainly produces anti-military junta, dictator, and pro-democracy rap music. They were founded in 2017 by the rapper Liberate P. Their first single, "My Country Has" (Thai: ประเทศกูมี), was released in 2018. After the release the police threatened to arrest the members but quickly backed down after the music video went viral.[1] In 2019 they were awarded with the Václav Havel Prize for Creative Dissent at the Oslo Freedom Forum.[2] During the 2020–2021 Thai protests one of the members got arrested together with pro-democracy activists and was charged with sedition.[3] The group's music has been censored in Thailand multiple times due to its anti-government and anti-monarchy message.[4]
