Quote:
"[In Raisin' Kane: A Rapumentary] first-time director Alison Duke puts hip-hop music into its Canadian cultural context with footage shot in subsidized housing projects in Scarborough. There she captures hip-hop's street-level roots by showing kids as young as 10 exchanging rhyming lyrics to gain respect on the concrete playground. Duke moves the story forward and puts it in the context of Canadian music, and culture as a whole, through colourful chats with commentators such as culture critic Nelson George, and recording artist Michie Mee."
