Awkword has revealed the tracklist and features included on his upcoming for-charity compilation "World View", which features Joell Ortiz, Harry Fraud, KRS-One and many more.

For those unfamiliar, Awkword is an emerging rapper/activist/sociologist from New York City. For the past five years, he's been creating a "100% for-charity global hip-hop" compilation titled World View, which features the likes of Joell Ortiz, Sean Price, Chino XL, KRS-One, Slug (of Atmosphere), Jadakiss, The Kid Daytona, ILL BILL, Vast Aire, Pace Won (of the Outsidaz), Rickie Jacobs and Beretta 9 (of Killarmy), with production from Harry Fraud, Domingo, Numonics, ATG, Steel Tipped Dove, Fafu and more.

The project features contributions from 18 different countries: Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Israel, Italy, Malawi, Malaysia, Moldova, the Netherlands, Norway, Romania, Serbia, the United Kingdom and the U.S. 

Here's Awk's official statement: 

"World View is the first-ever 100% for-charity global hip-hop project, featuring contributions from every continent and eighteen countries, showcasing our interconnectedness created through Hip-Hop culture and rap music. All proceeds from World View are being donated to Guns 4 Cameras, a 501c3 nonprofit that goes beyond the gun exchange, working to eradicate street violence through Hip-Hop-inspired education and empowerment of the youth in our communities."

Who can argue with that? The project is sponsored by The Morgan Stanley Foundation, and has been co-signed by Chuck D of Public Enemy. It's slated to drop on February 2nd, with a free bonus mixtape dropping in March. Visit Awkword's official site for more details.
