Greetings planetary citizens of Earth, Nunnu Nunnu, peace, and the sun be upon you. I have a special offering that may be of some of you all's interest. We have a Sa-Ra sighting in the form of a bonus song from the L∞P . It was going on the "Ventura" album for Anderson .Paak but he had so many good records that he couldn't find a place for it, but I do. (((in my sinister smirk while rubbing my hands together))) A thought came to my mind...What if?...........So, right before taking "Jungle Madness" for mastering I called my brother Taz, who  felt a certain way about not being on the album.  I had this song called "If You Miss You Kiss You" written by Jon Bap, King Karnov and myself with no 2nd verse yet and no vamp.  So, stars aligned and we met up at Om'Mas's studio Whitelines and (((Boom))) Cosmic Dust all over again.
I hope you take this to heart and know that there will be another Sa-Ra.

If You Miss You Kiss You (feat. Om'Mas Keith & Taz Arnold [Sa-Ra] & Jon Bap)
