For “Dance Or Die” Janelle is joined by Saul Williams for a fast paced journey across the cold, heartless terrain of the android world.

Through quick rap verses, she delivers narrative about the lifestyle of Cindi and her peers, while also talking about the marginalized people in our world, suffering from the problems of a very similarly perilous lifestyle.

Janelle talks about how her upbringing and lifestyle affected her in a 2010 interview

I didn’t have a particularly rough childhood in Kansas City. There were certainly people I knew who had it worse than me. I had a working class family and I contributed to paying the bills from an early age. I had to be the rock in my family for very long time. My leadership skills have always been there. I always felt my duty was to help and guide, whether through music or my life. I wanted to lead by example, because of what I learned from my surroundings. My father had a drug problem, but he’s clean now, doing wonderfully. But it affected me. I don’t do drugs. I consider myself the drug. It could’ve easily been the other way around, I could’ve easily been a product of my environment and played the victim. But I consider myself a thriver. I refuse to use my race or my background or anything as an excuse not to reach my goals.
