(PRWEB) July 12, 2004 -- Baltimore hip hop artist Son of Nun (S.O.N.) has just been confirmed for the second volume of the world renowned Peace Not War CD. His song, Fightback, was one of more than 500 that were submitted by bands across the globe. Only 35 songs could make it onto the compilation and S.O.N. received word earlier this week that his submission had been selected.
The first volume of Peace Not War was a 2 disc compilation of 32 antiwar songs featuring artists such as Public Enemy, Ani DiFranco, Chumbawamba, Asian Dub Foundation, Yo La Tengo, Ms Dynamite, Roots Manuva, Pete Seeger, DJ Spooky, Saul Williams, and Massive Attack. The aim of the compilation was to raise funds for peace groups while providing an uncensored soundtrack for the antiwar movement.
