From the press release:
"Hip hop legend Chuck D and the artists on his SLAMjamz digital record label have created a benefit album of new songs to raise money for Haiti's recovery efforts in record-breaking time. KOMBIT pou HAITI (which loosely translates to "coming together for the good of Haiti") will be released via iTunes and TuneCore on Tuesday, January 26th. The collection includes a track by MC Hi- Coup, a solo song from Chuck D (featuring Kyle Jason and Public Enemy DJ Johnny Juice Rosado), and Dominican roots band Pa'lo Monte."

The organization is coordinating second responder efforts, to begin once emergency rescue and assistance operations have stabilized and was brought to Chuck D's attention by activists Kevin Powell and April Silver."

CHUCK D ASSEMBLES HIS SLAMjamz ARTISTS FOR KOMBIT pou HAITI
I think as human beings we are all aware of the challenges facing the Haitian people as they move forward and try and pick up the pieces of their shattered lives.
The process will be a long one and require great resources.
Monkdogz is setting up an art auction. We are asking artists from around the world who wish to be involved to send us a work of art 5 x 7 inches or 12 centimeters x 18 centimeters.
It could be a drawing, photograph, painting (no stretchers or frames), mixed media, or any form or work that can be simply slid into an envelope and sent to us.
Note this will be conducted as a silent auction.
Please let us know within the next week if you would like to be involved in this humanitarian venture. As an artist.
Of course we are also looking for bright, intuitive collectors, people who are interested in owning exceptional original works or who are looking to start a collection. There are artists involved in this project who have work in reputable museum and private collections, are having documentary films charting their work, are having books designed to high light their art portfolios etc.
100% of any and all proceeds from this sale will be sent to a reputable organization involved in helping the Haitian people’s rebuild their lives.
