"URB" is a monthly American magazine devoted to electronic music, hip hop and urban lifestyle and culture. Based in Los Angeles, California, the magazine was founded in 1990 by Raymond Roker.

Prior to 2007, one issue a year was devoted to features of "The Next 100" up-and-coming musicians. In April 2007, the feature was moved to the magazine's website and expanded tenfold to become "The Next 1000". Instead of featuring 100 emerging artists and groups in a single issue of the magazine, 20 artists and groups are featured each week on the website, over the course of a year. The artists to be featured are selected by "URB"'s editorial staff and are rated by the site's visitors.

URB.com

"URB"'s online presence, "URB.com", was minimal until a redesigned site was launched April 2, 2007.

The new "URB.com" features a daily music and culture news blog, weekly CD and singles reviews, features from the magazine, and an extensive video collection made possible by a partnership with the online video service [http://vimby.com/ Video In My Backyard] .

"URB.com" distributes a weekly e-zine to over 150,000 subscribers. The site also publishes a monthly podcast which features artist interviews and exclusive music tracks.
