||| SA-RA feat. Talib Kweli - "Feel The Bass" |||Beat-bandit trio
SA-RA releases their debut lp,
The Hollywood Recordings next week, thus the new video, directed by the guys responsible for "Through The Wire".
To catch up those who aren't familiar,
SA-RA aka
Sa-Ra Creative Partners is made up of one guy who dresses really weird, one guy with a reputedly extensive jazz background and one guy who made beats for
Ice-T, back when Ice Tracy was a bad@ss. Their track record and discography is collectively expansive, working with such cohorts as
J Dilla,
Dr. Dre,
Common,
Erykah Badu,
Spacek,
Black Eyed Peas,
N.E.R.D.,
Heavy D,
Mark De Clive-Lowe,
Jamiroquai and so on. Oh, and Kanye signed them. A demo cd-r of their material was leaked in 2003 and made its way around the globe with instrumentals and unfinished cuts whose intended uses are understandably hard to determine. What's easy to determine is the stuff is funky.
They've since released a scattering of beat ep's, mixtapes and twelve-inches. So for the uninitated, I present some of my favorite SA-RA tunes. Enjoy:
The SA-RA Suite
