2010 urbanNOISE festival to feature Ghetto Concept and Kim Davis
Rexdale youth collective organizes fifth annual festival
Juno award-winning hip hop artists Ghetto Concept and R&B sensation Kim Davis headline the fifth annual urbanNOISE festival – a free, all-ages urban arts festival organized by young people in the Rexdale/Jamestown communities to inspire youth to stand up to violence. urbanNOISE will take place on Saturday, August 21 from 4pm – 8pm on the grounds of the Albion Library in the heart of Rexdale/Jamestown, located in North Etobicoke. This two-day festival kicks off the day before (Friday, August 20) with a series of free urban arts workshops for youth in the area, inside the Albion Library from 3pm-5pm.
Festival organizers are proud to welcome new sensation Black Sage as emcee whose distinctive ‘Couture Rap’ delivers a creative depiction of today’s society; and Toronto artists Ghetto Concept and Kim Davis as the headliners for this year’s urbanNOISE.
The headlining acts will be joined on stage by a multitude of talented local performers including JJ Money, Mista Bourne, Theo 3 and the ABS Breakdancing Crew, as well as young Rexdale/Jamestown residents looking to showcase their skills in the presence of established artists. Since some of Canada's hottest urban music stars have played the festival before making it big, the future of Canadian hip hop just may just be found on stage at this year's urbanNOISE.
There will also be one-of-a-kind graffiti T-shirt giveaways, a fashion show, graffiti workshops, African drum and dance workshops, games, and more.
