Cormega Taps Redman, Lil' Fame and More For Haiti Benefit Track
General Steele, stic.man and Maya Azucena also contribute to the posse cut.
Cormega paid a visit to Haiti last June for charity work after the devastating earthquake ravaged the land. Now that he’s back on American soil, the Queensbridge, New York native continues his Haitian support with the announcement of the benefit track “I Made a Difference” featuring General Steele, stic.man, Redman, Lil’ Fame and Maya Azucena.
The cut, featuring backing band The Revelations and touting drum programming from M.O.P.’s Lil’ Fame, was originally intended to feature more rappers who balked on their promise to deliver verses.
“The song is something that I wanted to do for a long time, ever since I came back from Haiti. Probably since like September 2010, we was trying to get the song done but a lot of rappers said they was gonna get on there,” he told AntiSelloutTV.com. “I’m yet to get their verse. I could only depend on the rappers that was coming through.”
Mega, who is currently working on his next album Cormega Raw Forever, shared his joy over the track. “I’m extremely proud of the song, I’m proud of all the rappers who participated and I’m proud of everybody who helped make it happen. Like I said, it was a team effort,” he said. “I hope that people feel the song. Everybody that hear it, they love it. I hope Haiti realizes they ain’t alone.”
“I Made a Difference” is available starting on May 18th on iTunes and digital music stores. All proceeds from sales of the tune will be donated to JPHRO.org Haitian Relief Organization.
