Just five days following the release of Alchemist's 20 track, Israeli music inspired, instrumental LP, 'Israeli Salad,' Brooklyn's own, Saga, is pleased to present his artistic interpretation of the legendary producer's offering, with 'Saga Ghanoush.' Comprised of seven hand picked instrumentals taken from 'Israeli Salad,' Saga showcases his silver tongued lyricism over ALC's use of middle-eastern sampled source material. By keeping Israeli themed delicacies as the focal point of the artwork, originally designed by the Haifa-based graf artist, Unga, of the Broken Fingaz crew, Saga swaps the avocado for an eggplant, to represent the key ingredient found in Baba Ghanoush…or in this case, 'Saga Ghanoush.' *Please note that this project is available for stream only. If you've yet to download Saga's, Marco Polo produced, debut effort, 'From Out of the Shadows,' head over to AudioMack for the free download: bit.ly/1awBekm
'Israeli Salad' is now available for download through iTunes and all major digital retailers, and can be purchased on vinyl, via Fat Beats, via black, and "Avocado" colored 2xLP:
