Urban





Urban is in or having to do with cities, as distinct from rural areas.

In terms of music, urban music and urban radio are synonymous with the terms
rap or hip hop, because that type of music typically originates in urban
areas. (In these contexts the term "black music" has sometimes been used,
and urban serves as a race-neutral replacement.) Current examples of popular
urban musicians are Missy Elliott, Ja Rule, 50 Cent, Nelly, and Ludacris.
