Just days after the Japan earthquake and subsequent tsunami and radiation disasters, the Fake Four, Inc. camp received a welcomed message from rapper Kaigen, one of our closest allies from the island nation. He told us he was safe, though having seen the devastation first hand, he urged us to help aid the Japanese people. He suggested we rally our roster of talented artists to create a compilation of original material dedicated to Japan and the thousands lost and displaced in the disaster.

Our artists and friends answered the call in the true collaborative spirit of Fake Four, Inc. reaching across genre lines and national boarders for the cause. The result is a collection of songs that are thought provoking and earnest, proving that the best way to overcome adversity is by banding together and standing strong, united. Myka9's personal mantra "It's all love" sums up what went into this compilation and what it's about. It's a humanistic endeavor dedicated to honoring, educating and uplifting.

All profits go to support Relief International's work to help survivors in Japan.

Special thanks to Colorado Sound for volunteering their staff and services to mastering this release.

Damn, sole makes a great vid and song about real world tragedies with great artists, and all fuht boys do is hate.. it must be distressing sole..

[soleonedotorg]

@BobtheBoyWonderin what bothers me is that people are taking issue with my comments on how world war 2 really went down, instead of the fact that i greenscreened myself into a tragedy, which i struggled with, lost sleep and was completely fucked up from editing all this footage. its stunning really, america fucking disgusts me. the apathy, the ignorance, all of it will be our undoing. keep playing your fiddles on your couch yall, don't spill pizza grease on the couch, your kids might slip.

[getsomeatyousuckorg]

this song blows. and by blows i mean dick. i am pumped that artists are doing what they can to help the victims in japan, but this song conflates their tragedy with misplaced emphasis on US foreign relations. that tsunamis do not hit wall street or the bible belt or that truman dropped atoms bombs on japan is totally irrelevant to this tragedy. you all are too quick to praise this garbage. japan's nuclear meltdown is ironic. i get it. but the US is nowhere near that irony. youreallsheep.getsome.

[soleonedotorg]

@getsomeatyousuckorg history is a chain of events. when you ignore history and its lessons, you are bound to repeat it. saying "truman dropped atom bombs is irrelevant," is like saying vietnam is irrelevant to afghanistan. we could have made a "we are the world" milktoast anthem, but i didn't, because the role of artist is both to raise money for japan, and inform. the non nuclear movement only exists because nuclear energy is DANGEROUS. and we are seeing first hand its human cost.

@soleonedotorg I really like everything what you've been doing with your music lately. At first, I didn't quite get what you were doing. Now, I'm starting to understand a little. It's teaching me a lot about how it REALLY is.
