Regular visitors to this site – and thanks, we know there’s many of you – may have noticed a slight redesign recently.

While we have been busy over the years generating media & public exposure for the artists and labels we work for, and highlighting their various online platforms, we received many enquiries about the range of services we provide

All of that can now be viewed here at www.urbanelitepr.com

We’ve kept it simple. The main page will continue to provide news on current campaigns, for example copy press, video & single releases, tour news and links to the artists concerned, while various pages have been set up giving more information about who we are, what we do, past examples of media, radio, tv, videos, single releases and tours

UrbanElite Promotions are a PR and Marketing company operating primarily in the UK with secondary operations on mainland Europe. We have 7 years’ experience working with many independent and Major artists from the UK, United States and Canada

The main focus is on hip hop & rap, but have also covered r&b, soul, dubstep, dance, drum & bass and various other styles

We work single, video & album releases, servicing physical & online press, magazines, newspapers, blogs, radio & club djs, satellite tv, provide tour press, assist in setting up events and tour dates, and provide artists & labels with further development, logistical & marketing assistance.

Our reach for single & video releases includes UK, Europe, Canada & United States while album promotions concentrate mainly on the UK market with mainland Europe a secondary option. Tours & events cover mainland Europe and the UK, with secondary options available for Australia

We are aware of other organizations of a similar name such as a community online radio station & a London based Club Night operation, but we have no affiliation with them having been in existence since 1998, wholly independent since 2005.

However, check the various pages highlighted at the top of the main site to see more information about ourselves, snapshot examples of previous media campaigns, artists’ music & interview videos, tracks on Soundcloud & Youtube, details regarding tours and events & information regarding the full range of services

At the very least you’ll get to hear some great music and watch some bangin hip hop videos !

Latest review of Copywrite’s new album “God Save The King (Proper English Version)” which releases on Man Bites Dog Records on 7th August

This one is in Rago Magazine, run by the guys from Wolftown Recordings, Tricksta & Late.

Those boys have been involved in UK hip hop for many years and consistently been putting out their own products internationally as well as running the magazine, several different blogs and various other ventures. Respect the grind

Here Tricksta pretty much goes in on his assessment of this album!! No holds barred, he definitely gives it the seal of approval :

“Well my friends, it’s like this, if you don’t like something on this album then you are either a hater, deaf or totally lost the plot”

Lol, no messin about in a true West Midlands stylee!!

You can link with the guys on twitter @Copywrite & @RagoMagazine

A huge international release for independent hip hop, unprecedented in its involvement of US and UK artists of such a high stature, circle 7th August on the calendar & make sure you cop that

“A truly fantastic album” is how Curtis Paskin sums up Copywrite’s “God Save The King (Proper English Version) which releases on 7th August 2012

Writing for the UK’s multi genre Hit The Floor Magazine, the in depth analysis is pretty much right on the mark. There again, with the tracklist below, the quality of trans Atlantic producers and artists who also feature on this release complimenting Copywrite who is on top of his game throughout, it would be difficult to come to any other conclusion

Troop Jackets ft Sean Price & SAS prod by Kount Fif

In the lead up to the release of his new album God Save The King (Proper English Version), which finally has a confirmed release date of 7th August via Man Bites Dog Records, Copywrite took some time out to speak with one of the UK’s leading onlines Hip Hop Kings.

Here he compares the new album with his previous release The Life & Times of Peter Nelson, his working with such a wide range of UK artists & the concept behind the album, his work on the new Megahertz album and which producers he’d be keen to work with in the future and plnas for touring

The album has certainly sparked the imagination of the UK media to date, with coverage in a diverse range of publications including Subba Cultcha, Data Transmission, Blues & Soul, Flavour, K-Mag, Beatnik, British Hip Hop, SBTV, What Culture, Kix, Clash and even weekly entertainment magazine Nuts. Much more to follow

With production from Marco Polo, Bronze Nazareth, Stu Bangas, Vanderslice, Curtiss King & Kount Fif complementing Copy at his best & featured artists such as Royce da 5 9, Crooked I, Seam P, Killah Priest, Roc Marciano, Evidence, Torae, Akala, Mystro, Genesis Elijah, Bigz, S.A.S, Melanin 9, Iron Braydz, Context & Dru Blu, its little wonder that this unique release is thought to be one of the biggest independent hip hop albums of 2012.

Latest review of Copywrite’s new album “God Save The King (Proper English Version)” which releases on Man Bites Dog Records in July 2012 – this time in London’s Beatnik Online

Here, Rob Boffard, who also has his 20/20 show every Thursday night 10pm GMT on Recharged Radio, picks up on the quality of production throughout as well as the contributions made by Copywrite himself and the standard of UK and US artists featuring on this particular release

This isnt a release with international features for the sake of it – artists such as Iron Braydz & Crooked I, Genesis Elijah & Royce da 5 9, Akala & Sonny Seeza, Mystro, S.A.S. & Sean Price, Bigz Flygerian & Inspectah Deck and many more standing shoulder to shoulder throughout makes this a cut above the norm.

Its unprecedented to have this level of international collaboration on an independent hip hop release where the standard remains so consistently high, a fact that’s not missed in the article

Latest UK online magazine to review the new album by Ohio’s Copywrite “God Save The King (Proper English Version)”

This time Scott Ronan gives it the 4 star treatment for WhatCulture

He gives a full track by track analysis, picking up on the wordplay and metaphors on display throughout, the dope production and again that international blend of high quality UK and Stateside Emcees complimenting each other on this imaginative release

He summarises

All in all a very strong Hip Hop album. It provides strong Boom Bap beats that sound great in my car with interesting talented lyricists. Copywrite has always been a great lyricist who has earned his underground stripes but with this album he has shown his respect for UK hip-hop by including so many of the dopest UK emcees. Copywrite is a talented battle emcees who uses detailed metaphors and snappy punch lines all over this album. The list of guests help to make this a good strong album. Easily a four out of five.

New single taken from Copywrite’s new album “God Save The King (Proper English Version)” out on Man Bites Dog Records

Arachnaphobia, produced by the UK’s Jaguar Skills, also features Wu Tang’s Killah Priest, Lord Basis and London’s Melanin 9. All 4 Emcees tear into Jag’s driving beat, another example of the quality on display throughout the album which features many of the most respected Trans – Atlantic names in the game.

One of the biggest independent international hip hop releases for many years, further production is supplied by Stu Bangas, Curtiss King, Vanderslice, Marco Polo, Bronze Nazareth, Surock and Kount Fif.
