Roy Brown III is notable for being the first album to feature collaborations between Brown and Cuban singer/songwriter Silvio RodrÃÂguez. The album features RodrÃÂguez' songs "Canción del elegido" and "Oda a mi generación". The former was already featured in the album 26 de julio: Los Nuevos Héroes, which features songs by RodrÃÂguez, Pablo Milanés, and Noel Nicola. Brown and RodrÃÂguez would continue collaborating through their careers several times.
The album also features the song "Al frente", which is inspired by a poem of Puerto Rican nationalist Hugo Margenat. Roy Brown III also features singing contributions by Antonio Cabán Vale "El Topo", Andrés Jiménez, and Rodolfo GandÃÂa, among others.
