MUSICAL TRIO SA-RA PUTTING RUMORS TO REST

WITH MAY RELEASE OF THE HOLLYWOOD RECORDINGS

ON BABYGRANDE RECORDS

GUEST FEATURES INCLUDE ERYKAH BADU, TALIB KWELI, BILAL,

J DILLA, KURUPT, CAPONE-N-NOREAGA, PHARAOHE MONCH,

GEORGIA ANNE MULDROW, LORD NES AND MORE

Despite rumors that Shafiq, Om'Mas and Taz of the musical
trio Sa-Ra have disbanded, the group known best for their work wiith Kanye
West (they were signed to his G.O.O.D. Music label) is putting those rumors
to rest with the May release of The Hollywood Recordings, the prequel to
their forthcoming major label debut, on renowned indie Babygrande Records.


With high profile guest spots including Featuring Erykah Badu, Talib Kweli,
Bilal, J Dilla, Capone-N-Noreaga, Pharaohe Monch, Kurupt, Georgia Anne
Muldrow, Lord Nes and more, The Hollywood Recordings defies categorization
and represents Sa-Ra's complete vision, which encompasses more than just
music. "We take the best of all doctrines, practices and sciences, and have
developed our own style," Om'Mas explains. Taz adds, "Our music contains a
deeper meaning, a real purpose."


"You look at James Brown, Prince, Jimi Hendrix, John Coltrane, Parliament --
all of the originals, the Gs of whatever they did -- people didn't get it at
first," Shafiq says. "It wasn't until they madde it cool. Then, when they
made it cool, everybody was doing it. Our job is to make history, not to
entertain. Our job is to change, add and contribute to what the greats have
already contributed."


A product of South Central Los Angeles and the South Bronx, group founder
Shafiq cut his teeth producing with Ice-T and Lord Finesse. Om'Mas was a
quality mixer and engineer for a host of talent, including Ice-T, Foxy
Brown, Mobb Deep and Jam Master Jay. While meeting with fellow South Central
Los Angeles-based Taz in 1989, Shafiq realized that the three could make
magic together, and formed Sa-Ra, meaning "offspring of the most powerful
energy in the universe;" the name also means "children of the cosmos."


The group's subsequent production work with and for the likes of Dr. Dre,
Kanye West, John Legend, Jurassic 5, Ice-T, Lord Finesse and others was
accompanied by Sa-Ra releases: the Dark Matter And Pornography Mixtape and
The Second Time Around. All of Sa-Ra's work is marked by a connection to
your soul, your being. It's an intangible link to your inner self, making
their output indispensable. It is something that cannot be ignored, as it
cuts to the core of existence.
