Kendrick Lamar is joined by Sacramento’s own Mozzy, emcee Reason and versatile musician Sjava on the twelfth track of the Black Panther soundtrack. It’s a mournful yet festive anthem that chronicles the struggles and inequalities of coming from Africa, and also uses the Zulu language to describe how the fictional Wakanda (in the movie) was so often generalized as a third world country, which is actually a rich African nation protected by King T'Challa.

Zulu has appeared in Kendrick’s discography before, such as in his 2015 track “Complexion (A Zulu Love).” In the outro, he takes the form of both T'Challa and Kilimonger, two enemies battling for the throne, to describe peace and unity;

I am T'Challa
I am Killmonger
One world, one God, one family
Celebration

Although this is their first time working together, Kendrick gave a quick shoutout to featured rapper Mozzy during his 2018 Grammys acceptance speech for best rap album, saying;

As my guy Mozzy say, you know, God up top, all the time, real talk, you know?
