In an unprecedented merger of talents & commitment, UMAC, The Urban Music Association of Canada, The Canadian Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (CARAS) & The JUNO Award Urban Music Committees, have come together to fete the best and brightest from urban music in Canada during the 2011 JunoFest activities.
As the JUNO Awards celebrate their 40th Anniversary in Toronto, UrbFresh will also honour urban music’s contribution to the Canadian & global music culture over that same period.
"The Association couldn't be happier! UMAC looks forward to growing UrbFresh's stature, visibility & star power for years to come at JunoFest!", stated UMAC President Will Strickland.
Featuring stellar performances from 2011 Rap, Reggae and R&B Soul nominees Karl Wolf, Eternia & MoSS, Silver, Tony Anthony, D-Sisive, Elaine Lil’ Bit Shepherd and more, UrbFresh will be hosted by the Cornerstones of Canadian Rap, Wes "Maestro" Williams and Michie Mee and is poised to be one of the most dynamic presentations during JunoFest.
