WU-TANG'S RAEKWON TO HIT VILLA!

In 1993, hip-hop would be forever changed by the emergence of the gritty, Shaolin
style of the seminal rap clique, the Wu-Tang Clan. Straight from the streets of
Staten Island, New York, a unique conglomerate of nine individually exceptional
lyricists flourished, fondly referred to as the Wu. These nine: RZA, Method Man,
Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, Inspectah Deck, GZA, U-God, Masta Killa, and Ol' Dirty
Bastard released the epic album Enter The Wu-Tang: 36 Chambers. This debut
garnered rave reviews as it provided listeners with a fresh approach to hip-hop.
Moreover, the Wu set trends in a time when hip-hop's radio play and sales were
championed largely by west coast artists.

To this day, the Wu-Tang's impact on hip-hop culture is unyielding. The Wu not only
influenced the state of music as a group but also as individuals. Each member
possesses his own exceptional characteristics which attracted cult followings.

Raekwon (the Chef), one of the nine talented emcees, shined as the purist of lyricists. When
the time came for him to release his first solo album, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx (1995), hiphop,
once again, underwent a momentous transformation. To give an accurate analogy
Cuban Linx is to albums what Scarface is to movies. In fact, this classic album, which went gold in three days moves from track to track like a film moves from scene to scene. With its
invigorating instrumentals and dramatic lyrical tales, Raekwon painted vivid pictures and
presented powerful imagery through his enchanting verbal expression.

Fast Forward and Raekwon's fourth studio album and latest effort Only Built For Cuban
Linx... Pt. II was chosen as 'Album of the Year' in the 2009 HipHopDx Awards, and
Raekwon himself picked as Best Emcee of 2009. It has also been listed on Times
Top 10 Albums of The Year, iTunes Best HipHop Album of The Year and Global Grinds
Top 10 Album Of The Year in 2009.

WYLCEF POSTPONES RAGGAMUFFIN SHOW

Andrew McManus Presents announced today that Lauryn Hill will now bring her own band to Australia to perform at Raggamuffin 2010, while Wyclef Jean remains in the US to continue his plight to help the people of Haiti.

The tragic earthquake that struck the Caribbean Island on January 12 has been described by Wyclef as an apocalypse and has kept the Haitian born rapper to stay close to his homeland and continue to raise money and lend support for the devastated Island. Wyclef has postponed to his trip until Raggamuffin 2011.

Raggamuffin will be helping to support the Haitian people with collections at each show and donations can also be made through Wyclef’s own Yele Haiti charity site www.yele.org.

Lauryn Hill will now perform Raggamuffin 2010 with her full band whilst Shaggy will now close the festival.

Sly and Robbie will perform a separate set in what will be an amazing night of hip-hop and reggae music.

A MESSAGE FROM WYCLEF JEAN...

STATEMENT BY WYCLEF JEAN ON HAITI EARTHQUAKE

NEW YORK—The following is a statement by Wyclef Jean on today’s magnitude 7.0 earthquake outside Port-au-Prince, Haiti:

“Haiti today faced a natural disaster of unprecedented proportion, an earthquake unlike anything the country has ever experienced.

The magnitude 7.0 earthquake – and several very strong aftershocks – struck only 10 miles from Port-au-Prince.

I cannot stress enough what a human disaster this is, and idle hands will only make this tragedy worse. The over 2 million people in Port-au-Prince tonight face catastrophe alone. We must act now.

President Obama has already said that the U.S. stands ‘ready to assist’ the Haitian people. The U.S. Military is the only group trained and prepared to offer that assistance immediately. They must do so as soon as possible. The international community must also rise to the occasion and help the Haitian people in every way possible.”

Many people have already reached out to see what they can do right now. We are asking those interested to please visit www.Yele.org and click on DONATE.

Wyclef Jean is the Goodwill Ambassador for Haiti.
