man way too many people to mention right now... Basically everyone and everything I have ever experienced with any of my millions of senses... I observe the governing dynamics of things that I like and fuse them together to make what I want to hear.

This is "Death of the Muse", the first single off the upcoming Solillaquists of Sound album, "No More Heroes". It's available as a download for a minimum donation of $2 with absolutely 100% of the proceeds going directly to Ms. Maureen Yancey a/k/a Ma Dukes (J Dilla's mom). You are encouraged to donate more than the minimum by upping the quantity in your shopping cart before checking out. The track features J-Live, Chali 2na (of Jurassic 5), as well as Ma Dukes herself.
Being that J Dilla was a musical hero to many of us, we chose to pay tribute to him in song for the new SoS album. And knowing of the troubles that his mother has endured (not only during the time of Dilla's illness but also since his passing) with her own health, living situation, and estrangement with the executors of Dilla's estate, we decided to pay tribute to her as well.. in action.
Please go to the download site, read the info and support Ms. Yancey. She is a wonderful and strong person who needs the help. Make sure you leave her a comment, pass the link along to your friends, try to get the song and the message on the radio, make the cover art your myspace pic, or throw the banner up on your page. Do what you can. Let's continue to prove that the power of the people united for a cause is more powerful than any politician or celebrity by helping to make a significant change in this woman's life.
Much thanks goes to everyone involved in this, especially everyone at insound for hosting the donation for free while taking no percentages or transaction fees and making sure that every last cent of the proceeds goes directly to Ms. Yancey. To all those starting up additional fundraisers, feel free to use the link above to donate the money you raise directly to Ms. Yancey, that's what it was created for. And of course thanks to all of you who support.
