FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Vaulted Jimi Hendrix and The Ghetto Fighters™ Material to Be


Released

New York, September 17, 2008, After almost 40 years in the vault, the never
before heard or seen multimedia material produced by Jimi Hendrix and the
Ghetto Fighters™ is being readied for release and licensing through a
subsidiary of the we-R-you Corporation (WERU), the technology, software and
multimedia company. The previously unreleased material was produced by
Jimi Hendrix, TaharQa Aleem and Tunde Ra Aleem, the 3 principals of Jimi
Hendrix and the Ghetto Fighters, and will be made available globally through
a wholly owned subsidiary of the we-R-you Corporation formed with the
Aleem Brothers to bring these projects to market. The Aleems and Jimi
Hendrix made up the members of the group and are the originators of the
material. The Aleems first met and began working with Jimi Hendrix in the
mid 1960’s and together recorded three Hendrix albums, Cry of L ove,
Rainbow Bridge and War Heroes.
The newly released material includes previously unheard recordings, a
feature length movie script, a full length autobiography, a series of animated
short stories for TV and the web, and drawings by Hendrix of himself as an
illustrated character, which in today’s virtual reality world would be known as
an avatar. “Jimi was a true visionary,” according to TaharQa Aleem, “whose
creativity went far beyond music. He saw the future and while he may not
have understood computers or known about digital technology and virtual
worlds, he knew that things like this were coming and created material that
would work in that world.” Added brother Tunde Ra, “Jimi might not have
known what an avatar was, but he foresaw a day when we would all have
representations of ourselves that could move in different worlds. When you
see his original sketches of himself and create a real avatar out of them
using today’s technology, the result is amazing”. The Ghetto fighters were
formed in 1970 by Jimi and the Aleem Brothers (who are identical twins) to
explore new projects that would go beyond the work Jimi had been doing and
expand the sounds he was working with. “The music and material sounds
brand new,” according to TaharQa, “and for all intents and purposes it is. It’ll
surprise and delight current fans and new ones to come”.
“The material will be released in segments,” according to Allen LeWinter, C
hief Branding and Marketing Officer of we-R-you, who is heading up the
project. “It’s like finding more treasure than you could have imagined and
realizing that each element needs to be released in its own time and way,”
continued LeWinter. “The Aleems are incredibly talented and incredibly
protective at the same time and want to insure that this is done just right for
the legacy of Jimi Hendrix and The Ghetto Fighters.”
About The Aleem Brothers
Tunde Ra and TaharQa Aleem began their careers working with the greats of
rhythm & blues such as Sam Cook, Sam & Dave, Otis Redding, Big Maybelle,
Bobby Womack, Clarence "Blowfly" Reid and many others. Learning the inner
workings of the music industry through their association with Harlem legend
Fat Jack Taylor, owner of the independent label Ro-Jack Records, TaharQa and
Tunde Ra would later establish the famous Harlem World club with Taylor,
which proved to be a spawning ground for a large number of pioneer rap
acts. While working with Ro-Jack Records the Aleems first met Jimi Hendrix
while Jimi was still a sideman playing and touring with Little Richard, the Isley
Brothers and others. Soon after, Jimi, TaharQa and Tunde Ra shared an
apartment in Manhattan'sPark West Village and formed a bond which would
indelibly shape the brothers’ as well as Jimi’s life and career.
