Lyrics Born & Oxfam “Real People” Album Campaign
Support: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/lyrics-born-oxfam-real-people-album-campaign
Staying true to form, Lyrics Born returns with his groundbreaking 8th album, “REAL PEOPLE”. Funky, organic, and eclectic, the appropriately entitled masterpiece is an homage to the genuine, everyday folks that inspired the album’s creation. To capture the album’s signature sound and aesthetic, LB traveled to the music Mecca of the world, New Orleans, Louisiana, enlisting Grammy-nominated producer Ben Ellman and Robert Mercurio of the Funk band, Galactic. Recorded almost entirely in New Orleans, “REAL PEOPLE” is the first of its kind, bringing together a solo Hip-Hop artist with a who’s who of legendary NOLA artists and musicians. Featured on the album is Grammy award winner Trombone Shorty, The Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Galactic, Corey “Boe Money” Henry (Rebirth Brass Band), Ivan Neville (Dumpstaphunk, Neville Family), Corey Glover (Living Colour), David Shaw (The Revivalists), Billy Martin (Modeski, Martin & Wood), and many more!
Lyrics Born has always been of the belief that music should help and heal, and in keeping with this credo, we’ve taken the “REAL PEOPLE” campaign one step further. For the first time, we’re proud to announce our partnership with the non-profit organization Oxfam America on the “REAL PEOPLE” IndieGoGo campaign. LB was so inspired by Oxfam’s humanitarian and environmental efforts in post-Hurricane Katrina, post oil-spill New Orleans and Gulf Region; he felt it was only right to give back to a place that has given the world so much.
This is how it works: 5% of every dollar you contribute to the “REAL PEOPLE” IndieGoGo campaign helps OXFAM with their efforts in New Orleans and the Gulf Region. But it doesn’t stop there. Once we reach and surpass our target goal that amount increases to 10% of every dollar pledged! So, the more you contribute, the more the impact of your pledge is felt, the more of a difference we make together, as “REAL PEOPLE”.
