It’s a big day for album releases. In addition to Justin Bieber, Jeezy, One Direction, and Logic, Ty Dolla $ign drops his long-awaited debut Free TC. The L.A. hitmaker assembles a star-studded cast for the 16 tracks, which include Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Brandy, Trey Songz, Diddy, Wiz Khalifa, R. Kelly, and Future.

But the project has an even deeper meaning to Ty. “I called it Free TC ’cause my little brother’s locked up for something that he didn’t do,” he told Rap-Up TV. “So we’re gonna use this money to free him, and plus we’re gonna raise awareness about racial and social injustice and mass incarceration going on in our country right now.”

Hear him spread his message below.
