Top Names in Hip Hop Remix Classic Tracks From the Isley Brothers for New CD

As fresh as next week's charts, the music of the Isley Brothers continues to exert a powerful influence on the widest cross-section of today's music world -- from the prime movers in hip-hop, R&B, electro-funk and Dancehall, to the outer reaches of electronica and beyond.

An impressive list of today's most accomplished musicians, producers, and poets -- among them Mos Def, will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas, Raphael Saadiq of Tony! Toni! Tone! and Lucy Pearl, ONDA, Stuart Matthewman of Sweetback and Sade, Ahmir "?uest Love" Thompson of the Roots, Steven "Lenky" Marsden, Gabriel Rene, De La Soul, and Ignorants -- have contributed their talents to the new CD, THE ISLEY BROTHERS -- TAKEN TO THE NEXT PHASE (RECONSTRUCTIONS).
