Though early reviews for Disney’s live-action rendition of The Lion King have been mixed to say the least, fans are still ready to partake in the rise of Simba once again and Beyoncé is doing her part to get fan support behind the film by dropping her own executive-produced Lion King inspired album, The Lion King: the Gift.

With Queen Bey taking on half the songs herself, The Gift comes in at 14-cuts deep and features some of the game’s biggest names including Jay-Z (of course), Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino, and Blue Ivy Carter (she’s already a bigger name than some of your favorite artists and is still about a decade away from dropping her debut album).
