While in New York working on material for an upcoming album with Truth & Soul, Aloe Blacc took on the additional task of remixing of the title track off the upcoming Lee Fields & the Expressions album. As politically charged as the original, “Truth, Deception, & Lies” is not just good music, but a bona-fide, unfeigned, rap proclamation. The MP3 is being given with every purchase of the record over at Truth & Soul
The Lee Fields album and Aloe Blacc single are released today!!!!

Raashan Ahmad “Lambada”
Soul Power
Not an album, not a mixtape , not an E.P.Thirteen original songs mostly recorded in early 2009. After touring the United States to promote my first solo album The Push, I discovered that I wanted to add more bangin’ songs to my live set. Soul Power is the result. When I I say “soul power”, I’m talking about about what gives my soul, my spirit power–which is music! This project was especially born out of all that I learned being on the road so I have to give thanks to the folks who have made me feel at home while away from home; who have blessed me with food, shelter, ciphers, laughter, conversation, money, memories, general nonsense, and love. Also mad thanks to the artists who blessed this project with their talent. Please support! Lastly check out all the projects coming from my Crown City Rockers crew! Our new album coming in the Fall 2009. Hit me up and let me know what you think.
Peace.
Raashan
