NEWSLETTER
Updated: APRIL 3,
2002
Welcome
to April! Why do my newsletters seem to be accompanied by some sort of
snow blizzard! Regardless, I remain optimistic that the spring-like
weather is on its way. Spring always brings with it some sort of “new
beginning” flavour to our lives, doesn’t it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well
anyway - this newsletter is also one day early this week to
facilitate the opening of the ReelWorld Film Festival on
Thursday. Be sure to check out the many films and events at FULL MOVIE SCHEDULE.
This newsletter is designed to welcome all the new members, give you some
updated entertainment-related news and provide you with our upcoming event
listings. Welcome to those who are new members. I will also
highlight events for the next 10 days so click on WEEKEND EVENTS
for events happening this weekend and NEXT WEEK'S EVENTS
for the upcoming week’s events!
LANGFIELD
ENTERTAINMENT NEWS!
Well, after a long search, I have finally decided on a
logo! Great news for me - this process
has taken me longer than I would have imagined but thanks to the graphic design
skills of someone that came highly recommended, I’ve settled on this one! Feedback is welcome! Stay tuned for my new website – I know I’ve
said that before but I’ve resorted to designing one myself now!

4. RAPUMENTARY
“Raisin’ Kane” TO BE XPOSED – APRIL 6, 2002
A series of live music events and film screenings to showcase
the Canadian urban music scene has landed.
2Bscene Film Releasing and Universal Music present a unique hip-hop
music and film road show celebrating the Canadian urban music scene. This event will consist of two elements that
reflect the breadth of urban music expression in Canada. XPOSED
is an open-mic talent search across the country while the “Raisin’ Kane” Tour consists of screenings of the National Film
Board’s award-winning documentary, “Raisin’
Kane: A Rapumentary”. A hybrid of
the “Gong Show”, “Popstars” and “Live at the Apollo”, XPOSED, the open-mic competition, will unearth new urban talent
across the country. Contestants are invited to rap, rhyme or sing in front of a
panel of esteemed industry and celebrity judges, including Universal Music
representatives, hip-hop acts such as Concise and Checkmate and MuchMusic
producer, Greg "Wonder" Baptiste. Event hosts include MusiquePlus VJ
Malik “Versatile” Shaheed and RS Smooth, with DJ Scratch Bastid and DJ Shortcut
as two of the supporting DJs. XPOSED will also feature live
performances by urban acts Citizen Kane, Ndidi Cascade and Kaleb Simmonds. The
jury and audience will vote on the winner.
