K-Salaam and Beatnick are teaming up to release a collaboration EP with dead prez’s M1. The production team recently released some behind the scenes footage of them in the studio with the politically minded rapper, who spoke on why they’re joining forces for the project.

“K-Salaam and Beatnick resonate with what dead prez is doing because we’re international hip-hop artists who are able to see the world from many angles,” he said. “Being part of the Brooklyn and down South and Jamaica and everywhere else in the world that has given my influence and my partner the same, we want to chime in about the so-called Middle East and what’s going on.”

Watch some behind the scenes footage below.
