Bling is Dead!, Say Two African-born Artists
African Fashion Designer and Hip-Hop artist call for death of America's
bling culture.

November 15, 2006 -- Two African-born artists are calling for the end
of "Bling" this holiday season. Chosan, the Sierra Leonean-born hip-hop
artist whose voice is heard on Kanye West's "Diamonds from Sierra
Leone" video, and G. Kofi Annan of award-nominated Annansi Clothing Co.
are spearheading an effort to eliminate the bling culture which helps
fund bloody wars in Africa. The "Bling is Dead" project is being
launched in an effort to motivate consumers to be more selective in
their gift purchases this holiday season. As part of Annansi Clothing
Co.'s ongoing Demand Details! initiative, the "Bling is Dead" project
features a newly released song by Chosan named "Blood Diamonds" and a
special "Bling is Dead" t-shirt which will be used to encourage
consumers to stop the illicit diamond trade. The song can be heard on
the website at http://www.blingisdead.org. (FULL RELEASE HERE:
