Stand United is one of three Kanye West features on the 23-track project and the rapper’s second collaboration with Buju Banton, with whom he previously teamed up for Believe What I Say from his album, Donda (2021).

Believe What I Say had peaked at No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was later certified Gold in the United States, Banton’s highest chart entry to date and his only single to be certified for exceeding 500,000 units in the country.

In 2020, Kanye had visited Jamaica and was seen in the studio with Banton along with Rocafella Records, co-founder Kareem “Biggs” Burke and rapper Saint Jhn. The Ni–as In Paris rapper had also teamed up with the Buju Banton Foundation to donate computers and chairs to the Sunbeam Children’s Home and the Mount Oliver Boys Home on the island.
