NYC Rapper, Activist and Sociologist AWKWORD has come together with DJBooth and The Morgan Stanley Foundation to bring listeners his long-awaited studio album, World View.
Five years in the making, the 19-track LP has been described by the artist as "the first-ever 100% for-charity global Hip Hop project." All proceeds are being donated to Guns 4 Cameras, a 501c3 nonprofit working to stop gun violence. Eight countries -- and five continents -- are represented on the album, already being called "a home run".
Guests on the project include Joell Ortiz, KRS-One, Dug Infinite, Sean Price, Slug (of Atmosphere), Chino XL, Mista Lawnge, The Kid Daytona, Jasiri X, ILL BILL, Wordsmith, Jasiri X, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Punchline, Beretta 9 (of Killarmy), Viro The Virus (RIP) and REKS.
Producers on World View include Harry Fraud, Domingo, Steel Tipped Dove, Numonics, ATG, Amin PaYnE [Australia], Dominant1 [Malawi] and Dismas [Romania].
