Originally recorded 4 years ago after the release of the fearless and classic Lemonade album by Beyonce, the members of Reckless Abandon (singer/songwriter Authentik, MC/DJ Kaytee Da Voice, author/artist Toi Stori, singer/songwriter/producer A-natural, and singer/songwriter Lenny Harold) came together to record their take on the powerful song "Freedom" as originally performed by Beyoncé featuring Kendrick Lamar.

The original cover was recorded but never released, however, the lyrics, unfortunately still, ring true today in the wake of additional unjustified violence towards and murders of Black people in America.

In hopes to continue spreading awareness and a show of solidarity to the plight of Black America, Reckless Abandon is committing to forward all shares of the sale of this single to organizations that also commit to bettering Black lives such as the #BlackLivesMatter movement, the NAACP, various African-American programs, and also LGBT organizations.
