On April 24th…
Sa-Ra Creative Partners "The Hollywood Recordings"
The recipients of a 2+ year set up as part of Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music/Sony imprint, the Sa-Ra Creative Partners finally see the light with the April 24th release of “The Hollywood Recordings,” the prequel to their forthcoming major label album debut. Contrary to popular speculation, the trio are very much united, having emerged unscathed from the perilous depths of an ever shifting major label landscape.
Many artists talk about going to the proverbial “next level.” The Sa-Ra Creative Partners -- Taz Arnold, Om’Mas Keith and Shafiq Husayn --simply exist there. They just are beyond what everyone else is doing creatively. That’s because the Los Angeles/New York-based collective creates for more than the act of making music. Sa-Ra -- whose disparate resume includes work with Dr. Dre, Kanye West, John Legend, Jurassic 5, Ice-T, Lord Finesse -- creates for the universe. It’s Afro Magnetic Electronic Spiritualism.
“Sa-Ra is a magical trio,” says Taz, a proud citizen of the globe who was raised in South Central Los Angeles. “We’re three lords from different aspects of the universe, different walks of life, here to put something magical together for the people.”
Ready for release on Babygrande Records, the album collection defies categorization and represents Sa-Ra’s complete vision, which encompasses more than just music. “We take the best of all doctrines, all the practices, all sciences and have developed our own style,” Om’Mas explains. “That’s where we’re at. We’ve very eclectic because, unlike many people, we’ve been able to identify that with which is best of all systems -- belief, monetary -- and take piece by piece to develop this master blueprint. It’s proven to be successful.”

Polyrhythm Addicts “Break Glass…”
In 1999, just as hip-hop was turning the corner into an era defined more by liars & loot than lyrics & truth, this hip-hop supergroup dropped a bomb on the industry. Actually, maybe supernova's a better word, as the 10 tracks quickly burned an indelible image into the consciousness of its listeners before becoming a victim, like so many others, of the business side of the game.
Now, Polyrhythm Addicts (DJ Spinna, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Mr. Complex and scorching new member Tiye Phoenix who’s already drawing parallels to female icons Lauryn Hill and Jean Grae) return with the May 2007 release of “Break Glass…” at a time when honest hip-hop groups are so desperately needed.
“Right now, hip-hop’s in a state of emergency,” says Sahdeeq. “Nas said, ‘Hip-hop is dead.' We think it can still be saved. You can see it. All you gotta do is just break the emergency glass and it's right there."
“Whatever’s hot now, the audience gets brainwashed into thinking that’s what’s real and there’s no balance,” says Spinna. “It’s gotten boring and I think there's an audience that's neglected. They want to hear something with more depth."
The highly anticipated sophomore set and follow-up to the critically and commercially lauded debut “Rhyme Related” features guest appearances from the likes of Pharaohe Monch, Little Brother, Slum Village & more.
