Canada’s urban entertainment industry receives major recognition

Urbanology Magazine releases new issue with four Canadian covers

Toronto, ON – Canada ‘s leading urban lifestyle publication, Urbanology Magazine, is making a strong statement this fall, telling readers and industry heads alike, "The North Has Arrived."

After having already featured over 200 different Canadians, the creators of Urbanology decided the time was right to recognize Canadians on the cover. This issue celebrates the diversity of Canadian music showcasing artists that range from hardcore street rap to R&B.

The four covers feature some of Canada ‘s most prominent urban music acts. Point Blank, a street rap group recently recognized by the XXL as having the hottest track coming out of Toronto tells of life growing up in North America ‘s first housing project. Mega-successful Palestinian recording artist Belly, who has been featured everywhere from CNN to Geraldo for his strong political views, reveals why he revels in all the hateration he receives. The talented Jully Black, who has worked with the likes of Destiny’s Child and Nas, drops inspiration for young ladies everywhere and purebred veteran lyricist DL Incognito shares his lifelong love affair with hip-hop.

To round out the issue’s all Canadian music line up is features on several other up and coming singers and rappers. As well, a special eight-page photo spread celebrates the creative designs of Canadian designers Curtis James, Mo’Knotic, Krystal Miller, NISE and Trapped Clothing.

" Canada has always supported and shown love to our cousins south of the border. We buy US music, clothes, pretty much everything. But right now it’s all about showcasing this scene that we’ve worked for years to build up here," explains Priya Ramanujam , Editor-in-Chief and Founder of Urbanology Magazine. "And hopefully with this issue Urbanology will get the message out through our loyal readers in the US that Canada has music, fashion and a scene worth paying attention to."
