Lead by industry consultants Motion Live Entertainment and Saada STYLO, the NORTHSIDE initiative will collect and publish the feedback of the key industry players and trendsetters. The final outcome of the project, a comprehensive document entitled Northside: A Snapshot of Canadian Hip Hop, will profile the experiences and challenges of promoting the art and culture within our northern borders. Cities to be profiled include Halifax, Montreal, Toronto, Hobbema (Alberta) and Vancouver. The publication is slated for release in spring 2006. To get a current and broad-ranging take on the state Canada's Hip Hop industry and its needs, NORTHSIDE is seeking input from UMAC members, who represent Canada's Hip Hop culture to the fullest...the performers/recording artists, promoters, managers, industry organizations, dancers, visual artists, DJs, producers, filmmakers, distributors, broadcasters, managers, record label executives, videographers, entrepreneurs, spoken word artists, theatre performers, graf artists, publicists, writers, etc.. UMAC will be playing a key role in providing important research for this project, and we hope you will share your knowledge, too!
