Encyclopedia : S : SA : SAR : Sa-Ra Creative Partners
SA-RA Creative Partners was established in 2000. Comprising 3 members they have worked with artists including Dr.Dre, Killer Mike an Jurassic 5. They have released 3 singles/EPs titled Double Dutch (CO CO POPS) / Death Of A Star (SUPERNOVA), Glorious and The Second Time Around. Their music can be described as a mix of hip hop and funk with electronic elements and singing.
What must it have been like back in the early 40’s for Max Roach to have contributed to making Be-Bop a dominant force in Jazz music. Hanging out, making music with the likes of Kenny Clarke, creating new rhythms that changed the sound of music and ever evolving and growing with icons like Dizzie Gillespie, or contributing to the Birth of Cool with Miles Davis. But for the legendary percussionist, he was probably just following his soul.
The Sa-Ra Creative Partners has to be similar to that experience, because this group’s grasp of music is intrinsic. Appearances by Iggy Pop, Afrika Bambaataa, Herbie Hancock, Erykah Badu, and Pharrell mark their present-day work. But individually, this group has worked with everybody from Parrish Smith to 8Ball & MJG to extensive work with Dr. Dre. Fat Joe once claimed that Russell Simmons was “every rapper’s silent partner.” Taz, Shafiq, and Om’Mas might be “every rapper’s silent musician.” Bringing their vast experience together, Kanye West is helping this East-West trio go global with their own unique amalgam of styles, beats, and genres.
