Mariah to contribute to hip-hop benefit album
Russell Simmons is working with his Hip-Hop Summit Action Network to put together an entire album - The Hip-Hop Summit Action Network Presents: Forces of Nature - to benefit the survivors of Hurricane Katrina. Simmons said the idea came to him two days ago but that already the number of songs pledged is "mind-boggling".
"The outpouring of heart from the community is unprecedented," he said. "I'm getting a record from Mariah Carey. Puffy has said he's working on one, I hope I get that. He's has a gospel record I'm trying to get him to give me. Snoop. Kanye West. I got a Reverend Run record that will knock your brain out. Most of the songs are about healing. Everybody has been supportive. No one has turned us down. It's a wonderful feeling to see this kind of outpouring." (MTV News)
