Musical Trio Sa-Ra Putting Rumors To Rest With May Release

Despite rumors that Shafiq, Om’Mas and Taz of the musical trio Sa-Ra have disbanded, the group known best for their work with 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 made 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.

Some streaming snippits of tracks.
Will definitely be copping this when it drops, I have a feeling their G.O.O.D Music album may still be some way off.
