The Urban Renewal Project is a 16- piece musical collective based out of Los Angeles. Known for their fearless fusion of jazz, hip-hop, and classic soul, the band delivers a sound that’s as explosive as it is distinctive. The Urban Renewal Project layers bold grooves, blazing horns, and sleek rhymes into a mix that feels nostalgic yet refreshingly modern. The collective has just shared their latest single "Money (featuring Oh No)".
With "Money (featuring Oh No)", the band reflects on all the dimensions of money, its role as a symbol of hope and opportunity, but also as an emblem of greed and corruption. Lyrics including, "Give me that money / I need that / This whole country built on free labor / Let me get this paper," show the crazy importance money and wealth has in our society. Musically, the track features rapper Oh No who lends his effortless flow with an equal immediate urgency. An infectious hook alongside stacked horns, electric rhythms and bold and colorful beats add to the song's allure. Together, these elements create a track that’s both socially charged and irresistibly listenable, striking a balance between commentary and celebration.
The Urban Renewal Project once again proves that they’re not just making music to move your body, but also your mind. “Money (featuring Oh No)” showcases the group’s unique ability to blend artistry with substance, giving listeners something to dance to while also sparking deeper reflection. It’s a testament to their ongoing mission of pushing genre boundaries and delivering music that resonates far beyond the surface.
