Kathleen Hanna and her husband Ad-Rock have covered DJ Snake and Justin Bieber’s “Let Me Love You” for Contra-ICE Vol. 1: ICE Out. The benefit compilation, set for release digitally and on CD and vinyl on October 2, via SoundsGood, has also corraled Jello Biafra, Fred Armisen, Fishbone, and Ozomatli, among others. The Hanna and Ad-Rock song also features Money Mark, longtime touring Beastie Boy Fredo Ortiz, and Frank Figueroa; listen to “Let Me Love You” below.
Hanna said in a press release, “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. 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.”
The compilation was organized by Build Art Make Change, a nonprofit organization that works to empower vulnerable communities, shift public discourse, and drive policy reform. Proceeds will directly fund National Day Laborer Organizing Network and Unión del Barrio, according to a press release. BAMC’s founder, Dali Colorado, said the album “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.”
Colorado, who is also a DJ, added, “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…. 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.”
