The Promise is the fourth studio album from Freestyle Fellowship, an American indie hip hop group consisting of Aceyalone, Myka 9, P.E.A.C.E, Self Jupiter, and DJ Kiilu Grand.[7] It was released on Decon in 2011.[8]

Prefix premiered the track "Step 2 the Side" in September[9] and a video for the track "We Are" in November 2011.[10]

Scott Thill of Wired described the album as "a healthy reminder of what hip-hop can do when its rhyme machines boast big brains as well as balls."[11]
