Build Art Make Change (BAMC) have announced Contra-ICE Vol. 1: ICE OUT, a benefit compilation featuring Tom Morello, Fred Armisen, Fishbone, David J, Jello Biafra, Ozomatli, and more. Today, the nonprofit organization is sharing the lead single, which is a Justin Bieber cover by Kathleen Hanna and Ad-Rock.
The Bikini Kill singer and Beastie Boy joined forces with Money Mark, Fredo Ortiz, and Frank Figueroa to tackle Bieber's 2016 DJ Snake collab "Let Me Love You." "It's not often you get to play music with your favorite people while working with a grassroots organization like Contra-ICE," Hanna says. "They are passionately fighting against fascism and white supremacy, which is something none of us can afford to ignore. Mario Caldato Jr. (Beastie Boys) produced our song which was a dream come true for me. Thank you so much to Contra-ICE for making this happen and allowing me to represent what we collectively stand for."
About the project, BAMC founder Dali Colorado explains:
Contra-ICE is not only an album. It is not only a collective. It is a cultural infrastructure built to support frontline organizations, amplify immigrant voices, and mobilize creatives who believe that love is not passive; it’s organized. Music has always been my first language. Justice has always been my inheritance. Contra-ICE is where those two lineages meet, urgently, unapologetically, and with LOVE OVER FEAR.
As a DJ, I approached this project as a curator, carefully crafting a listening experience that unfolds as a journey. Every track, transition, and voice serves a purpose, inviting listeners to move through moments of grief, anger, resilience, hope, and ultimately, action. My hope is that people don't simply hear this album — they feel it, connect with it, and leave inspired to create change in their own communities.
From beginning to end, it tells a story, weaving together music, comedy, and spoken word from a diverse community of artists responding to the inhumane treatment perpetuated by today's fascist ICE state.
Proceeds will go to organizations such as National Day Laborer Organizing Network (NDLON) and Unión del Barrio to defend labor rights and protect community-built wealth. BAMC will celebrate the release with a show at La Cita in Los Angeles on Oct. 3. Check out the cover and the tracklist below.
