DJ Premier, 2 Chainz, Mavis Staples, and Rage Against the Machine's Zack De La Rocha, among others, make appearances on the album.about the new music and its exploration of solidarity against political evil. "Nothing is gonna change until even we, who aren’t directly affected by oppression the way other classes are, recognize that oppression is our problem too," El-P told EW, very presciently. "And that is exactly what me and Mike attempt to do in terms of our friendship on these records. We have this new song 'Just,' where we go, 'look at all these slavemasters posing on your dollar!' ... Start recognizing that oppression is happening to you as well because if you are a defender of humanity then violence against humanity is violence against you. That’s it, no room for negotiation. You have to be connected to the idea that an insult or injury to one is an insult or injury to you and to all." Now you can listen to "Just" and the other 10 new tracks either via streaming or download. According to El-P, the album will be available for free
