Kathleen Hanna and her husband Ad-Rock have teamed up for a Justin Bieber cover to raise money for Contra-ICE, a group dedicated to fighting the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency. The album is titled Contra-ICE, Vol. 1:ICE Out and features contributions from folks like Jello Biafra, Fred Armisen and Fishbone.
Hanna and Ad-Rock’s contribution is a cover of Justin Bieber and DJ Snake‘s 2016 collaboration, “Let Me Love You.” The song was produced by Beasties Boys collaborator Mario Caldato Jr., and features Money Mark, Fredo Ortiz and Frank Figueroa. (Hannah is best known for her work with the bands Bikini Kill and Le Tigre, while Ad-Rock was a member of The Beastie Boys.)
For Hanna, it was a special opportunity she was not going to let pass by. In a statement, she said, “It’s not often you get to play music with your favorite people while working with a grassroots organization like Contra-ICE. They are passionately fighting against fascism and white supremacy, which is something none of us can afford to ignore. Thank you so much to Contra-ICE for making this happen and allowing me to represent what we collectively stand for.”
Contra-ICE, Vol. 1:ICE Out will be available in all formats on October 2nd.
