Jonny Cool produced most of the album and the first three singles, "We Are Tigers," "Retribution" , "Afrika." The latest release, "Ice Twice Baby" features Anthony Rivera and Drew Dru. Other artists featured on the project include Toni Hill, Melissa Barrison, Jonny Cool, Trox, James Whitehead, Tony Ozier, PSL, Libretto, Kiloriti Maasai, A’Revolution, Red Ray Frazier, Destro Destructo, Dreaded Warrior and Arietta Ward.

As an independent artist, poet, educator, media producer and activist, Mic Crenshaw has been making a difference in the world since he was a teenager. A founding member of the Minneapolis Baldies and Anti Racist Action, youth movements that actively confronted white supremacist gangs within the hard-core music scene. He's also a lead U.S. organizer for the Afrikan Hip-Hop Caravan, using cultural activism to develop international solidarity related to Human Rights and justice through Hip-Hop combined with popular education.
