Urban Mystic
Jul 2, 2012
As a Fort Lauderdale-born Minister's son, Urban Mystic, or Urb as his friends call him, takes a progressive approach to creating music that is well-received across genres and generations. He galvanizes R&B, Hip Hop and Classic Soul beautifully and effortlessly, without losing his gospel roots. Urban Mystic hit the national scene in 2004 with his KayGee-produced hit single "Where Were You?" which quickly resonated at urban radio. The video for the song enjoyed rotation at BET, MTV Jams, and hundreds of video outlets. The popularity of "Where Were You" from his debut album Ghetto Revelations established Urban Mystic as a vocalist to be reckoned with.
His selection as the 2004 Miami Music Award's "Best New Artist" was early proof of Urban Mystic's bright future. He followed with the 2005 single "It's You" featuring Paul Wall, and released Ghetto Revelations II in 2006, garnering even more attention for his stellar vocals. The third installment of the Ghetto Revelations saga, GRIII: Old School 2 Nu Skool, released in April 2009, offered longtime fans tunes like "Obama: A Change Has Come," "Can't Stop, Won't Stop," "Spread Your Wings," "2 Good 2 B True" and "Best Part of the Day." He also brought in new fans with radio-friendly tracks like "Main Squeeze" with Yung Joc and "I'm So Fly" featuring Reggae giants Ce'Cile and Beenie Man.
With Love Intervention, Urban Mystic is taking the stance "if it ain't broke don't fix it." And this time around, Urb is taking on more of the producing and writing. "The industry and everybody will get a chance to see what's on my heart and mind," he beams. The first single "In The Morning" is already impacting radio, and Urban Mystic is taking on shows around the country while they prepare the video, to be directed by Malcolm Jones and Yannique Barker.
