Totally Booked
October 15, 2005 @ Woodlands Regional Library
3pm Free Admission

Totally Booked is the only gathering in Singapore to introduce hip-hop and rap music on a friendlier level, in a library setup; an interactive and intimate atmosphere. Merging art, music, and social awareness, the tongue-in-cheek program title seeks to promote the message; the importance of knowledge.

What better way to gain than through reading! Part showcase, part chat-show, this event brings together leaders in the rap circuit and their budding novices to discuss issues not usually convenient to speak about in the clubs.

Come watch Chaz Ali, Oracle Phlow, B-Cube, VelvetGroove, Lyrical Deity and Fizz-Eye perform and participate in the workshop! Organised by Beats-Society in partnership with Music For Good and the National Library Board.
