Break In The Road

Break in the Road
Eclectic sampler based beat oriented music. This is a benefit CD for victims of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, organized at the grass roots by members of the soulstrut.com record forums who donated tracks and artwork. The result is a very successful collection of tracks from established and up and coming producers, full of obscure samples. All proceeds from sale of this album will be donated to victims of Hurricanes Rita and Katrina, be sure to mention the collection's website: www.breakintheroad.org for more information.
