On may 12th, Mos Def and Ben Jaffe got together to write a song for
Gulf Aid, a benefit for those affected by the oil spill. In an all-night jam
session less than 12 hours later, they recorded the song with Lenny Kravitz,
Trombone Shorty, Tim Robbins, and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.
“Ain’t my Fault” is available now via iTunes as a single for 99 cents with
all proceeds being distributed by the Gulf Relief Foundation (GulfAid.org)
to support organizations focused on wetlands/coastal environmental issues
and the regional seafood industry… but sadly only in the States.
