THE GREEN ALBUM

What up everyone?

I’ve got something extra special for you this time.

 

THE GREEN ALBUM is a project I’ve had mostly finished for 3 years now. It’s a full-length Hip-Hop remix album over all Al Green sample-made beats.  It will be the first official music project I have shared with the world.  I truly love it and I want to share it with as many people as possible.

 

Most of the songs being remixed come from hip hop’s “golden era.”  Artist such as De La Soul, Mos Def, Big L, Ghostface, Method Man, Notorious B.I.G., Pharcyde, Nas, AZ, Pharoahe Monch, Fugees, Jay-Z, Das Efx, Mobb Deep, and Busta Rhymes.  I added a few other artists that I’m a fan of such as MF DOOM, Saukrates, and FINALE.  I will almost definitely make a few more tracks in addition to those.

 

The profits from this project will be going to STAY TRUE, a non-profit founded in Philadelphia by my brother, Nir Saar.  Check the link above for more info!  It’s one of the coolest non-profits and I’m extremely proud to be part of it.

 

Their mission is to increase social awareness and engagement of those students that are most affected by the ailments of society.  I STRONGLY encourage you to read more about it and get involved in any way you see fit!

THE GREEN ALBUM is scheduled to be released on MY BIRTHDAY, May 27th (the very same day Al Green & ?uestlove drop “Lay It Down”… no coincidence!).  I will release the album on this blog with suggested donation to STAY TRUE.

                                                                                                                                                                          

My goal is to SPREAD THIS ALBUM AROUND AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, drive some traffic to the blog which I have also put a lot of lovin’ into, and finally.. raise some money for STAY TRUE.

                                                                                                                                                                           

If you are a fan of the blog, a fan of Al Green, a fan of any of those Hip-Hop artists listed above, a fan of good music, and a believer in playing an active roll in making the world a better place, then PLEASE HELP ME SPREAD THE WORD.                                                                                  

                                           

…Raise awareness of the album coming out, let people know where to get it, let them know about STAY TRUE, forward this to any bloggers you know, to magazines, post bulletins on your Myspace and Facebook, etc.                      

                                                                                                                                               

Here at UniverSOUL Productions, we are ALL about spreading the good word.  This entire blog is comprised of things I have filtered out of the mounds of garbage out there and decided to share with you.  I hope you care to return the favor and do the same for others.    

                                                                   

More on the album, a LEAKED TRACK, and a VERY special guest on the album!
