Cause | Nothing But Nets

DJ Junior & Recordbreakin.com supports:




The people of the United Methodist Church in collaboration with the NBA and Sports Illustrated magazine are participating in the Nothing But Nets campaign to help stop a deadly disease – malaria. In sub-Saharan Africa, a child dies every 30 seconds from this preventable disease. This is a statistic that the world must pay attention to according to Bishop Joao Somane Machado, leader of the United Methodist Church in Mozambique.



“This is not an African issue,” said Machado.

“It’s not only for poor countries.
It’s global.”



Just $10 buys a bed net, distributes it to a family and provides education on how to use it. Just one bed net can keep an entire family safe from malaria transmission for up to four years!



Consider this:

* Every 30 seconds, a child dies in sub-Saharan Africa because of malaria.

* Nine out of 10 deaths caused by maleria occur in Africa.

* YOU CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!



We can beat this awful disease and save future generations. So give a child the opportunity to live a life of health and happiness.

Communicate the need. Buy a bed net. And save a life.

Cause | Renew Orleans

When Ropeadope launched Renew Orleans two ( yes, TWO ) years ago they never thought they'd still be needed, but the sad truth is that our brothers and sisters in NOLA need us more than ever. So, they're giving the Renew Orleans line a makeover and relaunching to help them out. The Renew Orleans clothing line has donated over $ 80,000.00 to New Orleans musicians so far. This time, we will broaden our support to groups that are working in a few different areas of support - Music, Housing, Legal assistance, and environment. They've hooked up with the groups below for the launch, and we're counting on you to help us kick start this effort by showing your support and spreading the word. They've got some interesting sites set up at Ropeadope and Imeem - please join and invite your friends. The best part is that you can add your comments, pictures, music, photos, and video to the sites to share all things New Orleans with the world. So, before you spend your holiday budget, take some time to reach out to those in need.

Beneficiaries of Renew Orleans Donations

Music - Tipitina's Foundation
Housing - Common Ground
Environment - Replant New Orleans

Music | Muhsinah - day.break

Gripping vocals, inspired wordplay and thoughtful composition are just 3 of the elements that remain constant throughout day.break - The official debut release from 24 year old phenom, Muhsinah. Entirely self-produced, day.break is in a sense a heartfelt homage to this young women's inspirations and in another, a whimsical and revealing voyage down the road less traveled. Often times snatching inspiration out of the air, this classically trained pianist employs a limitless assortment of sonic elements to complete her hip hop inspired, soul experiments.

(Available Online Exclusively 11/13, Version 2.0 CD Available 12/13) With songs like "Discovery", "Gogh" and "Only and Always" Muhsinah's knack for evoking the head-nod seems almost intrinsic; all the while, delivering uniquely dynamic and stirring vocals. Her overall choice of words and expressions leave her hovering somewhere between "self-indulgent flower-child" and "post-modern idealist". It isn't enough that she sings her heart out in both "Outsource" and "NetKnot", but her words have meaning, harking lines like "what's given is what's asked for". Whether conventional or unconventional in inception, Muhsinah's music always seems to fall perfectly to the tastier side of experimental. Unabashedly honest in so many ways, Muhsinah's makes it clear that although the road less travel looks a bit un-kept and may present some dangers, it is assuredly the most fun path to tread. With a name that translates to "doer of good deeds" it's no wonder Muhsinah is offering to be our guide. Rock Slinger Incorporated
