A musical collaboration put together by Mercer Street Records, the Enough! Project, and the Unison Agency has been put together to raise funds and awareness to the plight of people of Congo, specifically crimes against women and children in the mineral trade. Here’s the press release on the Mos Def track:

In partnership with the Enough Project, veteran taste-maker and former KCRW Music Director, Nic Harcourt, has enlisted the help of friends like: Bat For Lashes, Imaad Wasif, Konono No 1, Damien Rice, Amadou & Mariam, Norah Jones, Mos Def and more to donate songs to the Raise Hope For Congo compilation. The Raise Hope For Congo project aims to protect and empower Congolese women who are the subject of unspeakable abuse as a result of the high demand for the country’s conflict minerals used in cell phones and computers in the west. Listen to Mos Def’s contribution, “Priority (A Capella)” and go support the cause, take action now.
