New album Love Glory Duty Death from Los Angeles based 16-piece collective The Urban Renewal Project. The band is known for their genre-bending adventurous sound, combining elements of Jazz, hip-hop, and vintage soul for an explosive and unique listen. The Urban Renewal Project combines fresh grooves with fiery big-band horn lines and smooth hip-hop rhymes, creating something simultaneously nostalgic and boundary-pushing.
Their 12- track album features exciting collaborations including acclaimed rapper Oh No (Madlib’s brother & creative partner) and extraordinary artist Tia P. (contestant on Rhythm & Flow on Netflix) among others. The album features the bleacher-stomping “Shake Those Hips”, a party anthem and ode to hip hop’s golden age as well as “Money- featuring Oh No”, an anthemic hip hop masterpiece all about the endless chase for money. Other highlights include “Red Eye”, inspired by the band’s tour to Indonesia and the blazing “Rush”.
The Urban Renewal Project have received acclaim from the likes of HiphopDX, Earmilk, Fusicology and have captivated audiences around the world from SXSW to the Java Jazz Festival.
