Today, the tracklisting for What You Gonna Do When the Grid Goes Down? has been revealed, and the album features a ridiculously stacked guest list.

They've already shared a 2020 remix of "Fight the Power" that includes NasRapsodyBlack Thought, Jahi, YG and Questlove. But the friends on Grid go far deeper than that.
