Less than a week 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 on

From the late Eyedea and Fake Four's Ceschi Ramos to Sadistik and Kristoff Krane, he's been around for a minute. Here Cas One talks new music, life goals and his early fears of being murdered for his ta
