RezX to Celebrate Comeback Issue with Official Launch Party in Edmonton; Will Belcourt, Shawn Bernard and Advo set to perform, among others.
New issue will be available!
Edmonton, AB - It will be an evening where the Aboriginal music stars come out to shine, as RezX is planning a Hollywood after party theme for their launch party, so dress to impress. But more important is the
"Official Release" of the magazine, as print editions will be available FIRST to attendees before they go out in April. Most of the artists performing are also featured in the magazine and will be on hand for autographs afterwards.
So please come out and support
RezX -
The New Voice of Aboriginal Arts & Entertainment! Pick up the new edition and find out why RezX is the hottest new Aboriginal Magazine in Canada serving a mature audience of 18-34. It's a New Beginning, a New Day and a New Voice!
Although the poster reads,
"Official Launch Party" it doesn't mean it's the first time around for the people behind RezX. It simply means a new beginning for the magazine after a 3-year hiatus while morphing into an Aboriginal Arts & Entertainment publication. To celebrate this new beginning, RezX is inviting everyone to attend the REZX MAGAZINE - OFFICIAL LAUNCH PARTY on

www.AboriginalYouth.netABOUT THE NEW REZX
RezX originally started in 2004 as Saskatchewan's Aboriginal youth magazine but went on a 3-year hiatus after only 3 issues. During their hiatus RezX transformed into a music promotions company hosting almost 25 events across Canada featuring Aboriginal music artists of all genres. So it was no surprise that when RezX returned it was morphed into an Aboriginal Arts & Entertainment publication while becoming the first Aboriginal youth magazine to go digital! RezX has fully embraced the Internet's capabilities making its publication available globally through its Digi-Mags which users can download at
www.AboriginalYouth.net starting March 14th. But for the limited print editions, readers can get them FIRST at the REZX MAGAZINE - OFFICIAL LAUNCH PARTY!
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Shawn Bernard aka FEENIX:
Shawn Bernard aka FEENIX, who appears on the cover of this issue of RezX Magazine has quite the story to tell. But it is his live performance that has created quite the buzz too, going from an artist no one knew much about to becoming an even bigger attraction! His club bouncin' beats mixed with raw material in his lyrics make for a great combination for any emcee.
Advo of Stressed Street:
Advo (short for Advokit) has consistently kept his name in the spotlight opening for big names on tour like Young Buck, The Game, Chamillionaire and Nas. He also runs his own group Non-Status (himself, NekkBone and Sundance) and recently became the latest member of Stressed Street Records. With a new album on the way, a new home with Double S and more shows to look forward to, this will definitely be Advo's break out year! Come find out why Advo is one of Edmonton's most talented performers!
Will Belcourt:
Will Belcourt is of Cree, Iroquois, and European descent and was born in the Métis community of Marlboro located in the Alberta foothills near the Rocky Mountains. His debut album, Full Moon Blanket, is a unique mixture of folk, blues and rock delivered with heartfelt purity and integrity. Belcourt wrote all songs, played all guitars, sang all vocals, almost all backing vocals, played all pianos, created all string arrangements, played and created all drums and percussions. Now for the first time, he will brings his live show to the people!
Billy Blackout and Rellik of Won18:
Won18 consisting of the trio; Billy Blackout, Rellik and Plex, have been a staple to the Edmonton hip hop scene for many years, getting their name from the infamous 118 Avenue where they grew up on. Their latest offering, 'The Dirty Boulevard" won critical reviews giving each member a chance to create solo projects, but still remaining loyal to the group. Although Plex will be absent, Billy Blackout and Rellik are sure to keep it energetic!
Anasaz:
After splitting from the group REDDNATION and going solo, Anasaz plans to keep things fresh in '08. So far his solo career looks promising since many in the industry consider him to be one the finest lyricists in the game. Many of his songs reflect the hardships of native youth including one song that was a tribute to single mothers which won him a lot of critical acclaim. But he's still young and he's still got more bangers coming your way in '08, as Anasaz will keep it hyped when he performs at this event….as always!
DJ CreeAsian:
DJ CreeAsian is one of the most respected and talented DJs and Bboys on the Edmonton circuit and has built his name all by himself. Through break dancing and DJing, he has continued to be a staple to Edmonton's underground scene, promoting shows, bboy events and DJing regularly. After and in between all the performances, CreeAsian will be serving up everything from old school to new school to club bouncin' bangers to Top 40 to keep the party going!
