I'm not from the school of copy/paste posts but I think the folks over at Uncommon sum things up in their email better than I can even attempt. So, I'll let they take it from here.
Uncommon Records humbly presents our 2nd "Pop Up Album", Save the Horn. All proceeds from Save the Horn will be donated to Charity:Water which builds water wells in the 3rd world. They are currently raising funds to finance a drilling rig that can dig multiple wells in the country of Ethiopia. All of the dollars donated to Charity:Water are verified to be going toward specific wells via Google Maps and photos that are directly associated with the dollars. Even their overhead comes through a separate income source.
Save the Horn will only be available for one month (10/28-11/28), we will then donate all funds raised from the sale of the album and it will never be available again. This creates a rare piece of music in the digital format. The album contains 16 songs for only a $5 donation, although we would encourage you to donate more if you can.
Save the Horn features music from Uncommon's roster like Acid Reign, Adam Warlock, Atari Blitzkrieg, Pruven, Short Fuze, Taiyamo Denku, Masai Bey, DCK VNNGT along with collaborations with fellow Progressive Hip-Hoppers like JunClassic, Billy Woods, Megabusive, Aeon Grey, Passive65ive, Carl Kavorkian, Zesto and more. The list of producers banding together is also impressive including Nasa, Agartha Audio, IV the Polymath, Black Tokyo, Waatu, Bond and others.
The opportunity to present staunchly Progressive Hip-Hop like this in a joint effort to raise money for a worthy cause is an honor. We were able to make a difference with Japan Earthquake Relief earlier this year with a similar project, now we need to send the same love to Africa. Thanks to everyone that takes part, and enjoy the tunes!!!
