Sa-Ra

Sa-Ra is an electronic hip-hop/R&B group based in Los Angeles, California, also known by their full name, Sa-Ra Creative Partners. Pronounced "Sah-Rah", Om'Mas Keith, Taz Arnold, and Shafiq Husayn comprise the partnership and their name translates roughly to "the children of God."

Sa-Ra consisting of members & founders (Om'Mas Keith, Shafiq Husayn & Taz Arnold) formed in the late 90s from a trio of industry producers, musicians, and executives who had diligently worked in a multitude of high-profile music productions and business ventures prior to the group's inception. Sa-Ra's various remixes, collaborations, singles, and productions circumvented the globe, instantly propelling them to the forefront of the underground during the early 2000s. Their discography [1] includes songs with artists as established as Jurassic 5 and Pharoahe Monch. They had previously been signed to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music label, where they planned to release their debut full-length LP, reportedly entitled Black Fuzz. Sony Urban has since been Dissolved by parent SONY-BMG, and the group, free from restriction, negotiated an unprecedented non-exclusive deal with pioneering independent label Babygrande. Their unique sound, including vintage soul, spacey electronic/euro POP, and true hip-hop & jazz elements, along with atypical vocal harmonies, and unusual sonic effects (using vintage synthesizers ), has generated a considerable amount of buzz in the underground, despite the fact that they have yet to release a major-label-distributed single or album.
