The best coverage of hip hop and dance music.

Most of Urb's readers are rabid "underground" dance/hip hop fans who get outraged at any hint that the magazine is selling out. The fact that this magazine attracts these sort of people is a very good sign.

The pages are always packed with reviews and articles about artists and albums that are new to me. Their year-end lists are some of the best around. Their articles tell what the artists' music sounds like, instead of what celebrities they are dating/how they'd spend $848(*COUGH* Blender! *COUGH*)/what their childhoods were like/etc.

$ is more than most other music magazines, but if you are truly interested in dance and hip hop it's well worth the money.

REAL HIP-HOP!!!

This magazine is the real deal Holyfield! They tell you somethings you can't find anywhere else. They'll tell you about up and coming artists and underground artists that are still hungry and at the top of their game, not about these commercial cats that lost love for the art.
