Limited early bird tickets are only $25 ($32 after)RAEKWON: Corey Woods aka Raekwon The Chef, has been a staple in the Entertainment industry since his debut in 1993 as an integral part in undeniably one of the greatest Hip-Hop groups to date, the legendary Wu-Tang Clan. Rae’s verbal ability took center stage early in the original cult classic Protect Ya Neck, but little did the world know, that we were merely indulging in delicious appetizers delivered by Rae. It wasn’t until 1995, when Raekwon The Chef emerged from the kitchen and invited the Hip-Hop faithful into his personal chamber and the world was privileged to partake in the perfectly sautéed full course meal… Only Built 4 Cuban Linx.

Critics and fans alike unanimously agreed, Cuban Linx was an instant classic. An opulent sonic journey defined by Raekwon’s cinematic narratives and narcotized hooks. The production delivered by Wu Tang’s Abbot, The Rza, was simply supreme – his best comprehensive work to date. And never had a co-star been so illustrious: Cuban Linx also managed to showcase the talents of then under represented Wu-Tang band mate, Ghostface Killah. This was also the beginning of the “Rae and Ghost” collaborations which have yielded some of hip hop’s most beloved songs.

To follow up this success, Rae later released Immobiliarity in 1999 and The Lex Diamond Story in 2003. All of these lyrical offerings were well received; Immobilarity going gold, yet there was always the persistent request of the fans to release a follow up to the classis OBFCL. After anticipation and some label turbulence, The Chef finally found a new home at the EMI Group. The seasoned label has joined forces with Raekwon and his independent label, Ice H2O Records Inc. to power the sequel to his 1995 masterpiece: Only Built 4 Cuban Linx

No one could have anticipated the break away success of this album. Released on September 8, 2009, the instant success spent its first four days number one on itunes. Then selling 66, 000 copies in its first week on the charts . Critics and fans both heralded it the best album of 2009. Receiving accolades from: Times Magazine, iTunes, Complex Magazine, The Source Magazine, Rolling Stone Magazine, Hip Hop DXX, Canada’s Exclaim Magazine and countless online music sites.

With a renewal rarely seen in the music industry, Raekwon has experienced a career resurgence few have ever witnessed. With an ever-growing fan base, Rae’s music has managed to place him back on the forefront of Hip Hop’s elite. Having been featured on countless features in 2010, Rae has lent his talents to fellow musicians: Kanye West, Bun B, Fat Joe, Justin Beiber and participated with is Wu Brothers, Ghostface and Method Manin the highly anticipated, Wu Massacre.

Never one to go back on a promise, Raekwon promised fans the fabled Shaolin vs. Wu Tang, as a response to RZA’s 8 Diagrams album. To be delivered on March 8, 2011, the album which features the likes of Rick Ross, Lloyd Banks, Nas, Black Thought and Jim Jones, with production by DJ Khalil, Sean C and LV, Scram Jones and Eric Sermon, the album ushers the beloved Wu Tang sound into the current decades, leaving fans reminiscent while excited about the freshness of the sound.

To date, Raekwon is expanding his empire. He has established Ice H20 Canada, with the hopes of presenting to the world some of the untapped talents of our neighbors to the North. In addition, he has also developed 3783 Media, a collective based in Los Angeles, which serves as a full service production, digital and management company. There are several multimedia and entrepreneurial endeavors on the rise. Raekwon has moved into the next phase of his career, and he has no intention of slowing down.

JD ERA: For far too long, people have had a misconception about the history of hip-hop in Canada. With the recent surge in popularity for an artist like Drake, most have forgotten about the success of the rest of the Great White North. Artists like Michie Mee, Maestro, Ghetto Concept, Choclair and Kardinal Offishall opened the door for Drake. Standing on the front stoop ready to get in is JD Era.



Era comes from Toronto and has been active in Canada’s hip-hop scene for quite some time now. Proving himself in the underground circuit by battling—and beating—opponents, Era slowly built a strong catalogue with a string of very successful mixtapes with his Black Market Music Group label.



Being a successful freestyle artist, Era immediately holds an advantage when he steps in the booth to record. Because of his ability to write songs, he’s been able to experiment with his flow and become incredibly versatile. Over the course of his mixtape releases, it’s easy to see his progression into one of the most gifted artists to come out of Canada in years.



Things began moving quickly for the Prince of the North when he released The Cold War mixtape along with a video for the lead single “Paper Chase.” The video became a hit on shows like Rapcity and JD Era finally started showing up on record label’s radars.



Building on the incredible success of his money-making anthem, Era followed up Cold War with the highly successful Coming to America and Th1rt3en mixtapes. The latter of the two spawned videos for the singles “You Know This” and “Fame and Fortune.” Coupled with the videos was an increased amount of radio-play for the Toronto emcee, including a new single called “Covergirl” featuring Bobby Valentino.



All of the attention finally paid off this past year when Era caught the attention of a certain Killer Bee who was starting a new record label in Toronto. Despite rumours of where he would sign, Era announced that he would be joining Raekwon from Wu-Tang Clan to build his Ice H2O Records imprint. Once again, things began to take off for Era.



Traveling and performing with a hip-hop legend doesn’t happen everyday but Era was fortunate enough to do just that. After multiple appearances together, Era also put in some work on Raekwon’s latest mixtape Unexpected Victory. All of this is leading up to Era’s next release No Handouts which is expected to drop in the early part of 2012.



JD Era has been a staple in the underground hip-hop community north of the border for some time now and it’s only right that he stands on the edge of super-stardom. A great catalogue of music along with a new partnership with one of the best to ever do it only makes the rise to the top more plausible.
