After a young fan was killed at a 1987 Boogie Down Productions and Public Enemy show, KRS-One formed the Stop The Violence Movement in hopes of encouraging the hip-hop community to end violence being committed among themselves. Further inspired by the recent death of fellow BDP founding member Scott La Rock, he assembled many contemporary East Coast hip-hop rap artists to record a track about anti-violence. With production assistance by bandmate D-Nice and Hank Shocklee of the Bomb Squad, the product of the session was the chart-topping track 'Self Destruction'. All proceeds went to the National Urban League. The track debuted at number 1 on the first week of Billboard's Hot Rap Songs existence and held the spot for five consecutive weeks.

The following artists contributed the vocals to the track:
Boogie Down Productions / KRS-One / D-Nice / Ms. Melodie / Stetsasonic / Delite / Daddy-O / Wise / Frukwan / Kool Moe Dee / Lyte / Doug E Fresh / Just-Ice / Heavy D / Public Enemy / Chuck D / Flavor Flav
