Russell Simmons Planning Occupy Wall Street Concert. Promises OWS Protest Songs Coming From Major Artists Soon
Russell Simmons is doing what he can to contribute to the Occupy Wall Street movement.
In a recent interview with Billboard.biz, the business mogul says he's been in talks with artists who will be recording OWS inspired songs.
"There's a lot of music coming. I don't want to say who until they're dropping these bombs," he said. "These are artists I'm aware of that I pushed to do it, supported their efforts to do it, told them why it was important, briefed them on the demands of the protestors. There'll be a protest song that goes with Occupy Wall Street. I promise you that. Me and you, promise."
Simmons added that there is also an OWS concert also in the works.
"We are definitely discussing it. We're definitely working for permits. We're definitely looking to make a huge impact. We're actively working for permits. We'll have one in our hands soon."
Good to see Uncle Rush lending a hand.

yea I agree, occupy my wall street need a leader! lol thats exactly what they dont need...or maybe they do...f*ck i know...with 250$ a month here I sure cant see it as my battle...tho you maybe wonder why no 'other' fckupd countries not commenting on this... heh... anyway having a major multi-millioner artist making a 'anthem' song for the cause is always a bad look in my books. Anyway much respect for Russell. This made any sense? :))

Once again Im riding with the protesters on this one. They might be hippies but they're willing to get their head cracked for the cause. Real respects real. I hate to see a real movement of the people dumbed down by some fake rap s***.

I respect what Russell Simmons is doing for OWS. I released a track for OWS about two months ago that is on iTunes and Amazon. It was Produced and Written by Richie Rolex with a portion of proceeds to go to help out the cause. I feel for anybody affected by the greed of Politicians and CEO's.
