| Info: | On Sunday, September 24, 2006, Kapacity Entertainment presents one of Canada’s finest hip-hop artists, Classified, at Heaven Nightclub. Proclaimed as Halifax's leading rap voice, Classified continues to mark his territory in the Canadian rap scene with every album.
Starting his education early, Classified began his formal rhyming career performing creative high school rap acts in hip-hop’s quiet days of the early 90s. In the coming years Classified’s passion for hip-hop developed, leading to the start of his production label, HalfLife Records and his first full-length release, Times Up, in 1995.
In 1997 Class released the CD entitled, Information. Two years in the making, the album opened many doors for Classified and led to opening spots for noted American and Canadian musicians including 112, Saukrates, Maestro, Rascalz, Choclair and Swollen Members. The release of Information prompted Classified’s first record release, “Touch of Class.” The single received much critical praise and was nominated for Urban Recording of the Year at the East Coast Music Awards.
After releasing several more projects and having his videos aired on Much Music, Classified signed a nationwide distribution deal with UrbNet Records in 2003 to release his ninth album, Trial and Error. Containing collaborations with artists such as Eternia, DL Incognito and Maestro, the album was one of the highest selling independent rap albums in Canada in 2003. Earlier this year Class won a MMVA Award in the Much Vibe Best Rap Video category for the song No Mistakes, taken from his 2005 album, Boy-Cott-In The Industry. His newest album, Hitch Hikin Music, will be released in September 2006. Class is making history with this tour. 29 cities across Canada.
