Add your name to the list.
You can record an original track about the genocide in Africa, in Darfur or people surviving tragedy. Let me know if you need a beat or got your own.
You can also submit a track from any project you already got out. If you want to submit something about Africa, Darfur, genocide, war, making it through hard times, no more blood for oil, middle east peace (for both sides), the hood (american inner city violence), ... or anything you think would be relevant. Or submit a song with original content. If you a producer we also need tracks.
Here are some other countries in Africa that have been affected by Genocide and War in recent years: Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, Sierra Leone, Rwanda, Uganda, Sudan (Darfur & Southern Region), Somalia & Congo.
Over a thousand people have signed and committed to be a part of the movement, whether to educate others, raise funds and awareness or to get involved personally themselves.
Here is the latest info / update I put out that breaks down the three part initiative.
Join the Holy Hip Hop Responds to the Need in Darfur Movement Now
Here’s how you can get involved!!
Get Involved - Here is More info about Hip Hop Responds To The Need In Darfur Movement
James 2:14-26 says, "14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe--and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."
As many as 400,000 people have been killed in Darfur. Another 2.5 million have been driven from their homes and into danger. The threat of rape, torture, murder and starvation pursue the women, men and children of Darfur wherever they flee.
This is most definitely a cause worth fighting for.
Isaiah1:15 When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you; even if you offer many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood; 16 wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight! Stop doing wrong, 17 learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.
James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
Please prayerful consider becoming involved. Pray for the people of Darfur or if you can give or call upon your senators and leaders to Divest In Darfur.
It’s something that anyone who really cares about social justice the loss of life should get involved with. Its something I believe in. We should, "Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow, to look after orphans and widows in their distress." 400,000 people have been killed in Darfur and another 2.5 million displaced that is a human tragedy.
Hip Hop and other artists lets rise up to the times and do something for those who need our help. Lets show love and help those who are in need. Lets not just debate bible issues and enjoy our comfortable life. Lets help and fight for the cause of the oppressed and hurting.
Tre-9 CEO of Much Luvv Records and Founder of the All Eyes Of Me Achievment Awards says, “It is a good thing to do, for such an awful disgrace to humanity.”
Why should we get involved?
Here is a quick over view so you can understand what is occurring in Darfur.
Genocide is occurring in Darfur.
gen•o•cide ..: –noun the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group. Men, women, and children are being murdered by their own government paid militia. Since the beginning of the genocide, 450,000 people have died.
Not only murdered but: -raped -slaughtered -displaced -suffered from malnutrition The militia, otherwise known as the Janjaweed, are killing animals as well and throwing them into any and all water supplies, along with, burning all food supplies and housing the people own -- consequently creating malnutrition for all, especially the hungry children.
Background: Nearly three years into the crisis, the western Sudanese region of Darfur is acknowledged to be a humanitarian and human rights tragedy of the first order. The humanitarian, security and political situation continue to deteriorate: atrocities continue, people are still dying in large numbers of malnutrition and disease, and a new famine is feared. According to reports by the World Food Program, the United Nations and the Coalition for International Justice, 3.5 million people are now hungry, 2.5 million have been displaced due to violence, and 450,000 people have died in Darfur thus far. The international community is failing to protect civilians or to influence the Sudanese government to do so.
What YOU can do to HELP: There is so much you can do to help! From spreading the word about this conflict to researching the following: -visit
www.savedarfur.org If you're a attending high school or college, there's a great way to get your school involved and start a group or club. -visit
www.standnow.org On either websites there are shirts for sale for only $10.00! Wearing a shirt will raise a great deal of awareness! Wearing the shirt will create tons of questions from friends and schoolmates and allow you to spread the word. The lack of education on this genocide is incredible. Most people, when asked about Darfur, answer with "What's Darfur?"
DO SOMETHING!
