Drummer Ahmir Thompson says the album is the "sum of our 6 records and our 12 years as a band. Most of our album titles are chosen to reflect on the mood of where the group is and we feel as though this album is our biggest step."
Contributors include: Jean Grae, Martin Luther, Devin the Dude, guitarist Captain Kirk Douglas, producer Scott Storch and comedian Dave Chappelle.
A video for the first single off the album, "Don't Say Nothin'," which is produced by Storch, is currently being filmed.
The album's title refers to Malcolm Gladwell's book on the critical moments that touch off social phenomena.
