The NBA is back! So why not watch this oddly themed Knicks/Acid Reign video?

In celebration of the NBA finally striking a deal, and of perfect timing in the discovery of this video on Youtube, we present a version of Acid Hip-Hop by Acid Reign that you've never seen before.  That's right Knicks fans, LA's own Acid Reign helps you jam out to Knicks highlights from 2007....wait, what?  Sorry, this is when the Knicks were at their worst.

BONUS CLIP! Taiyamo Denku's Problematic Solution meets Call of Duty.

Uncommon Presents "Save the Horn" for Eastern African Famine Aid

Uncommon Records humbly presents our 2nd "Pop Up Album", Save the Horn.  All proceeds from Save the Horn will be donated to Charity:Water which builds water wells in the 3rd world.  They are currently raising funds to finance a drilling rig that can dig multiple wells in the country of Ethiopia.  All of the dollars donated to Charity:Water are verified to be going toward specific wells via Google Maps and photos that are directly associated with the dollars.  Even their overhead comes through a separate income source.

Save the Horn will only be available for one month (10/28-11/28), we will then donate all funds raised from the sale of the album and it will never be available again.  This creates a rare piece of music in the digital format.  The album contains 16 songs for only a $5 donation, although we would encourage you to donate more if you can.  Let's tell you about the album:

Save the Horn features music from Uncommon's roster like Acid Reign, Adam Warlock, Atari Blitzkrieg, Pruven, Short Fuze, Taiyamo Denku, Masai Bey, DCK VNNGT along with collaborations with fellow Progressive Hip-Hoppers like JunClassic, Billy Woods, Megabusive, Aeon Grey, Passive65ive, Carl Kavorkian, Zesto and more.  The list of producers banding together is also impressive including Nasa, Agartha Audio, IV the Polymath, Black Tokyo, Waatu, Bond and others.

The opportunity to present staunchly Progressive Hip-Hop like this in a joint effort to raise money for a worthy cause is an honor.  We were able to make a difference with Japan Earthquake Relief earlier this year with a similar project, now we need to send the same love to Africa.  Thanks to everyone that takes part, and enjoy the tunes!!!

"The Sun Never Sets" Donation Total and Thanks

We're proud to announce that Uncommon Records has been able to donate $285.00 to Second Harvest Japan.  The donation was made entirely through the sales of our first "Pop Up Album" titled "The Sun Never Sets".  The album featured tracks from Acid Reign, Atari Blitzkrieg, Short Fuze & Nasa, Taiyamo Denku, Agartha Audio and many more Uncommon artists. 

We want to take the time to thank everyone that picked it up and for the individual donations for the album that ranged from $5 to $35 each.  Amazing work and an amazing feeling to give back, while at the same time spread our music to more people for a good cause.

"The Sun Never Sets" is no longer available, but you can look forward to more "Pop Up Albums" in the future, some causes and some just for fun.
