Sam Sneed Anderson

Music producer Sam "Sneed" Anderson, co-producer of "Natural Born Killers" and "Keep Their Heads Ringin', as well as producer for Capone-N-Noreaga ("Closer") and Cherelle ("Sleeping With The Enemy"), has been diagnosed with Astrocytoma Grade 3.This is a malignant brain tumor the size of a golf ball or a plum in its third stage of four stages of growth.Sam is only 31 years old.

Though he has no health coverage, the migraines he was experiencing forced him to visit the emergency room on August 3."The headaches were unbearable", he recalls."I went in after three weeks of pain, and they [the hospital] kept me." The tumor is too large and Sam is too young for surgery to be the first option; he must undergo CT and MRI scans plus radiation therapy in order to slow the growth and reduce the size of the tumor.
...
Amazingly, Sam has not suffered the usual seizures and impediments that come with tumors of this magnitude.In fact, before his diagnosis, Sam was keeping a full production schedule with Jay-Z and Peter Gunz.
...
If you have a label/company expense account, send Sam a tax deductible "gift certificate" to Three Rivers Bank, where a fund has been established to cover his considerable medical expenses.If you have a job and can spare a few bucks or wait on those new shoes, send a check to:

...
If you can get artists involved to hold benefit shows, tell them they will be joining Scarface and Eightball, who have already committed to performing for Sam.Sway & Tech, The Poetess, and KRS-ONE got the word and your help is needed to get the word out and the funds coming in. Send this email to the high-powered label presidents, indies, mouthpieces, promo pros--we all have a positive part to play.No amount is too little or to large.But doing nothing, remaining silent, is unacceptable.If you can do a story or an item on this, Sam is available for interviews.

I personally cannot imagine the man who created those bangin' tracks doing anything but more incredible music.

I am reprinting a portion of the email I received from Thembisa M'Shaka , a writer from Sony Music spearheading the efforts to raise money to fight the brain cancer found in this young producer's head : Music producer Sam Sneed Anderson , co-producer of Natural Born Killers and Keep Their Heads Ringin' , as well as producer for Capone-N-Noreaga ( Closer ).and Cherelle ( Sleeping With The Enemy ) , has been diagnosed with Astrocytoma Grade 3. This is a malignant brain tumor the size of a golf ball or a plum in its third stage of four stages of growth.Sam is only 31 years old.Though he has no health coverage , the migraines he was experiencing forced him to visit the emergency room on August 3. The headaches were unbearable , he recalls.I went in after three weeks of pain , and they [ the hospital ] kept me. The tumor is too large and Sam is too young for surgery to be the first option ; he must undergo CT and MRI scans plus radiation therapy in order to slow the growth and reduce the size of the tumor.This 5-day per week , seven-week therapy begins August 30.The Peacock delivery technique of radiation therapy , practiced in only 6 of America's hospitals , is Sam's best option.This therapy is estimated at $ 35 , 000.When surgery becomes necessary , the costs increase--but.so do the risks : due to the position of the tumor , surgery could permanently impede Sam's speech , cognitive ability , and control over the right side of his body. To cover impending medical expenses for this man with no insurance coverage , an account has been established at Three Rivers Bank.
