I’ve been getting a lot of communications recently from a friend who’s a big cause fighter. Her biggest cause is supporting the victims of the Bhopal chemical spill back in the early 80′s. I hate saying I’ve been too busy to take part in some of the events she’s invited us to but the truth is, I’ve been swamped.
So, in an effort to do my part to help a cause, I’m encouraging everyone to pick up “Cause 2″, the new benefit CD from Waxploitations, home of Danger Mouse, Black Moth Super Rainbow, Gnarls Barkely and Danger Doom.
“Causes” is an ongoing benefit series where 100% of the proceeds go towards supporting the men and women fighting the devastation in Dafur. The groups involved are Human Rights Watch, Doctors Without Borders and Oxfam America.
Right now, MTV’s The Leak, is streaming the album in it’s entirety. So go listen to exclusive tracks from the artists mentioned above including LCD Soundsystem, The Decembrists, Devandra Banhart, Diplo, Mum, Matthew Dear, My Morning Jacket, Neon Neon, RJD2, Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings and many more.
To learn more about the album and the crisis it’s supporting, as well as how you can purchase once it’s released on May 5th, go to www.waxploitation.com/causes.
