The preceding single, \"Last Breath,\" is a tribute to the 2014 Eric Garner suffocation death in the United States.\n\nThe album features Dana Stevens (as), Jaylen Baker (vib), Fabian Almazan (p), and Dezron Douglas (b). Additional guests include DJ Jahi Sundance (turntables) and Bilal (vo).\n\nThe work has been expanded musically by Derrick Hodge, who has worked extensively with the Robert Glasper Experiment and film music, and co-produced this album.\n\nBlake said of the film, \"When I was writing these songs, I was seeing and hearing the news (related to Black Lives Matter) on a daily basis. There were images of the lives of yet another person of color, black or brown, being taken at the hands of those who were supposed to serve us and protect us. I did not want to be numb to the events unfolding before my eyes. I wanted to raise my voice through music. When my sisters and I were growing up, our parents always said this.\" If you see injustice happening and do nothing, you are just as much of a problem.\" He said.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.
