Washington (CNN) For Joey Badass, there are three K's and two A's in America and in the land of the free, not everyone is liberated.

"People have to realize and wake up and notice that the country is not here to benefit everyone that's living in it," the Brooklyn rapper told CNN.

Joey released "Land of the Free," a passionate critique of racism in America that touches on the rise of President Donald Trump, mass incarceration, police brutality and the rise of white nationalism.

The single is part of the rapper's upcoming album, "All-Amerikkkan Badass," which is out April 7 and includes collaborations with artists like J. Cole and Styles P.

The three K's in America also appear in rapper Ice Cube's 1990 debut solo album, "AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted."
