IMAAN FAITH TO RELEASE HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DEBUT ALBUM
Category: Music

"LET THE TRUTH BE KNOWN" ON DEP / UNIVERSAL

When rap musician Imaan Faith celebrates his Iranian culture’s New Year this month, he’ll be celebrating with the support of a who’s who in the music industry appearing on Imaan’s debut album "Let The Truth Be Known", releasing across the country March 11 on G.U.T.S. Records and distributed through DEP / Universal Canada.

"Haven’t Seen U Smile", Imaan’s debut music video, features none other than multi-platinum rappers Mopreme Shakur & Big Syke, members of the ’Thug Life’ and ’Outlawz’ groups formed by Tupac Shakur, the best-selling rap musician of all time. Tupac, whose two greatest hits volumes "Thug" and "Life" recently released on Universal Music, was Imaan’s strongest personal and professional inspiration growing up in New York. Imaan’s family immigrated to the US after the Iranian Islamic Revolution, before Imaan moved to Toronto as a teenager.

Imaan’s "Haven’t Seen U Smile" music video was directed by Gobi, a renowned British-Iranian filmmaker whose past music video credits include collaborations with musicians Tupac Shakur, Queen Latifah and Yoko Ono among others. Gobi was also a producer of the Oscar nominated ’Tupac Resurrection’ documentary, and recently directed a reality TV series with rapper/actor DMX.

In addition to Imaan’s album tracks featuring Tupac producer Johnny "J", Eminem DJ Clinton Sparks, and Indo-Canadian bhangra producer Pama Sarai, an additional roster of artist heavyweights offered their collaborative support for Imaan’s debut album: Freeway (signed to Jay-Z’s Roc-A-Fella Records and 50 Cent’s G-Unit Records) ; Colby O (signed to Akon’s Konvict Entertainment) ; TQ (formerly signed to Cash Money Records) ; and even Juno Award winner Snow.
