New Mariah Song In Hurricane Katrina Benefit Album
The catastrophic suffering of Hurricane Katrina evacuees trapped in shelters across New Orleans and broadcast on televisions around the globe has moved a number of recording artists to vent frustrations through original songs.
Russell Simmons says his Hip-Hop Summit Action Network is organizing an entire album — The Hip-Hop Summit Action Network Presents: Forces of Nature — to benefit the survivors of Hurricane Katrina, reports MTV. The Def Jam co-founder said he’s been getting calls non-stop from folks who want to contribute songs.
"The outpouring of heart from the community is unprecedented," he told MTV. "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."
