Data Insight
Treach and Kay Gee are on 17 of the 18 tracks and Vin Rock on five, which is the widest gap between members anywhere in the catalogue. Twenty-two years after Independent Leaders the writing is still theirs, and the record went out with nobody watching.
Anthem Inc. came out on E1 in December 2011, the group's first album in nine years and their most recent. It did not chart.

Who wrote Anthem Inc.?
Treach and Kay Gee are credited on 17 of the 18 tracks. Vin Rock is on five, the smallest share he has taken on any album.
Where do the credits come from?
The album article carries no track listing at all, so the tracks and their writers come from the 2011 US CD release on Discogs.

It did not enter the Billboard 200 or the R&B chart.
How did it sell?
The discography's certification column is blank for this album and no sales figure is published.

Is this their last album?
It is the most recent studio album in this catalogue.
How long is it?
