Reprise: A Roc Nation Album is a compilation of powerful voices to benefit the gathering of justice, until freedom, equal justice initiative, grassroots law project and NACDL, Foundation for Criminal justice. Music from Grammy nominated artists, producers and Songwriters Rapsody, Vic Mensa, Jorja Smith, Chronixx, Ambre and more. A portion of the proceeds will go to funding organizations that support victims of police brutality, hate crimes and other violations of civil rights.

“This work is important to the culture and I am proud to be a part of it.” - Malik Yusef
“We are honored that so many great creatives were able to lend their genuine support, on what turned out to be an amazing project. As black music executives, we feel a project like this is not an option, but our duty,” stated Roc Nation Co-Presidents Shari Bryant and Omar Grant.
"'12 Problems' boasts production from Don Cannon and Cubeatz, who pair concrete drums and rumbling bass with a loop of disconcertingly heavenly choral vocals. On the track, Rapsody spits a pair of visceral verses that tackle police brutality, the prison industrial complex, the War on Drugs and more, pulling it all together with a chorus that puts a new spin on a classic Jay-Z hook: 'I got 99 problems and 12 still the biggest/I got 99 problems/Baton, bullets, triggers.'" - Rolling Stone
