Stars Record Songs For Charity

January 22, 2010 by Ashley Parker

Lupe Fiasco and Jay-Z have taken to the studio to record songs to benefit Haiti after the recent earthquake, which has killed more than 200,000 people.

Lupe, who recently climbed mount Kilimanjaro with Jessica Biel and Emile Hirsch to raise awareness about the world’s water crisis, teamed up with Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda. Jay-Z worked with U2's Bono and Swizz Beatz, a producer.

Guitarist The Edge said that Swizz called Bono, saying he and Jay-Z wanted to do something to help Haitians.

In addition to recording songs for Haiti, Bono will be performing at “Hope for Haiti” on January 22, along with Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera and Sting.
