The 11-track album includes features from 2 Chainz, Pharrell Williams, Mavis Staples, DJ Premier, Rage Against the Machine’s Zack de la Rocha, Josh Homme, Return of the Hip Hop Freaks. El-P handles the majority of the production, with some help from Wilder Zoby, Little Shalimar, and the great DJ Premier.
