Part 2: Will You Accept The Much Luvv Records Challenge? (Save Darfur Now)

In response to the "Holy Hip Hop Responds To The Need In Darfur" movement Much Luvv Records would like to issue this challenge to all Holy Hip Hop, Christian Rap, Gospel and other Christian Artist.

The challenge is that from Now til March 15th Much Luvv is challenging the Holy Hip Hop movement to step up to the plate and act on the behalf of those who have been raped, murdered and displaced in this horrible humanitarian crisis and genocide Darfur.

Will you join the cause and step up to the plate to help those in need half way around the world when the international community hasn't stepped in to help the over 400,000 murdered and over 2.1 million displaced.

Tre-9 the founder and CEO of Much Luvv Records and the National Holy Hip Hop Awards has committed to giving "10% of our cd sales for the next 2 months towards the cause," and would like to challenge other artist, labels, industry executives and concerned individuals to do the same; to spend time praying and fasting for the cause in Darfur and to sow a seed toward their freedom.

You can mail the money to Much Luvv Records, Inc. 4930 Dacoma Suite C Houston, TX 77092 (Make Sure in the memo section you put for the Darfur Now movement) before April 15th and we will put them on a press release on our website that will give your movement some needed exposure. And help further the cause of those lives and countries being destroyed by genocide.

Tre-9 says, "It is a good thing to do, for such an awful disgrace to humanity."

Part 3: Get Involved - More info about Holy Hip Hop Responds To The Need In Darfur


We are seeking Holy Hip Hop artists, Christian Rappers, Rhythm & Praise, Gospel and other artists coming together to support the social cause and seek social justice to those affected by the Darfur conflict. Putting our feat into action and money where our mouths are to reach those hurt and ravaged by great tragedy.

James 2:14-26 says, "14 What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled," but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18 But someone will say, "You have faith, and I have works." Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe--and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works, and by works faith was made perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness." And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only. 25 Likewise, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? 26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also."

As many as 400,000 people have been killed in Darfur. Another 2.5 million have been driven from their homes and into danger. The threat of rape, torture, murder and starvation pursue the women, men and children of Darfur wherever they flee.

This is most definitely a cause worth fighting for.

Isaiah1:15 When you spread out your hands in prayer, I will hide my eyes from you; even if you offer many prayers, I will not listen. Your hands are full of blood; 16 wash and make yourselves clean. Take your evil deeds out of my sight! Stop doing wrong, 17 learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.

James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

Please prayerful consider becoming involved. Pray for the people of Darfur or if you can give or call upon your senators and leaders to Divest In Darfur.

It's something that anyone who really cares about social justice the loss of life should get involved with. Its something I believe in. We should, "Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow, to look after orphans and widows in their distress." 400,000 people have been killed in Darfur and another 2.5 million displaced that is a human tragedy.

Holy Hip Hop and other artists lets rise up to the times and do something for those who need our help. Lets show love and help those who are in need. Lets not just debate bible issues and enjoy our comfortable life. Lets help and fight for the cause of the oppressed and hurting.

Respond to the need in Darfur.

Well, the plan B doesn't make any different at all according to Sudan goverment we need to push president bush to do more than that. They're sending us a clear message that the sanction won't stop killing in Darfur.






June 4, 2007 (KHARTOUM) -- Business leaders managing Sudan's economic boom predict the new U.S. sanctions imposed because of Darfur will have little impact on this country's oil-based economy, mostly because they avoid targeting key Chinese interests here.


Chinese President Hu Jintao shakes hands with his Sudanese counterpart Omar al-Beshir. (AFP)The US measures and the violence in Darfur are likely to be topics when the Group of Eight industrialised countries meet this week at a summit in Germany.

US President George Bush has directed American officials to meet with allies to try to draft a new United Nations Security Council resolution that would impose multilateral pressure on Sudan, in addition to the unilateral actions by the US.

But China has urged negotiations rather than sanctions as the best way to elicit co-operation from Sudan, and holds veto power in the Security Council.

That has again highlighted China's central role in the Darfur issue.

The US sanctions announced last week target 31 Sudanese companies and three individuals - the military intelligence chief, a cabinet minister and a rebel leader linked to the Darfur violence that has killed 200 000 people and forced 2,5 million from their homes.

The newly sanctioned companies join 132 other Sudanese firms already banned from doing business with any US company or bank.

But Abdul Rahim Hamdi, a former Sudanese finance minister who advises the Sudanese government on economic matters, said the US sanctions mostly avoid the most critical parts of Sudan's economy - oil and the oil sector's Chinese customers.

Last year, Sudan's economy grew by 12 percent, according to the International Monetary Fund. That growth was propelled by the estimated 500 000 barrels of oil produced each day - two-thirds of them bought by China.

Hamdi noted that only Sudanese oil-drilling companies are on the new US sanctions list, not Chinese or other foreign corporations - some of which pay huge royalties to the Sudanese government.

"The Chinese companies are the only big players, but the Americans have carefully avoided targeting them," Hamdi said.

US authorities have defended the new measures, saying they not only broaden the target list but also provide better methods to track down embargo evaders.

"Tougher new enforcement techniques," including "forensic accounting" have been used to select the newly targeted companies and to make sure all 163 now on the sanctions list are truly barred from the dollar economy, US embassy spokesperson Joel Maybury said.

US officials also dispute the idea that they are leery of disrupting Chinese relations over Darfur.

"We can very definitely say that the issue of Sudan is on the United States-China bilateral agenda," US under Secretary of State John Negroponte told reporters last week.

However, some Sudanese officials say privately that they believe the White House is unwilling to drive up world oil prices by targeting the shipping companies that export the country's oil production.

For now, the only Sudanese company that truly risks being affected by the US measures, Hamdi contends, is Sudatel, Sudan's largest cellphone provider, because it is listed on the stock exchange in the United Arab Emirates and is largely owned by foreign investors.

After a decade of American sanctions, Sudan has few commercial ties to the United States at this point, meaning the effect of US sanctions is fairly limited, both Hamdi and outside analysts say.

Nearly three-quarters of Sudan's trade is with Arab and Asian nations, Hamdi said.

"We have learned years ago to avoid the American banking system. I don't think anybody will be hurt by this," he said.

A prominent Khartoum financier, who asked not be identified because of the sensitivity of the issue, said Sudanese firms know how to steer clear of dollar transactions by using the euro currency instead.

Sudanese firms operate through foreign holding companies or joint ventures to evade restrictions, the financier said.

Analysts like Alex Vines, the head of the Africa programme at the British think tank Chatham House, also predicted the US sanctions will have little actual effect on Sudan's economy.

"It's more of a political signal," Vines said.

Below is the Letter to the Editor I submitted to the Wichita Eagle.


Don't ignore Darfur

With up to 400,000 dead, 2 million refugees and more than 3 million people completely reliant on international aid, there is a humanitarian crisis in the Darfur region of Sudan. The Sudanese government and government-backed militias are engaged in what the Bush administration has correctly labeled genocide.

There is hope for the new cease-fire agreement brokered with the help of New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, but there are also indications that it has already been violated. Peace agreements have come and gone, and it is past time for the world to say "enough."

Pray for those suffering in Sudan, educate yourself about the crisis, and call or write your elected officials and ask them to push for the deployment of United Nations peacekeepers to the region to end the violence now.
