Los Angeles’ powerhouse 16-piece collective The Urban Renewal Project return with their latest single “Money” featuring Oh No, a track that’s as thought-provoking as it is sonically explosive. Known for their fearless fusion of jazz, hip-hop, and vintage soul, the group once again proves their knack for pushing boundaries while keeping listeners hooked on irresistible grooves.
Built on fiery horn lines, smooth yet commanding hip-hop flows, and a big-band energy that feels both nostalgic and fresh, “Money” tackles the complexities of its namesake head-on. With sharp lyricism and dynamic instrumentation, the track meditates on the dual nature of money, hope and opportunity on one side, greed and vice on the other. The question it poses lingers long after the last note: is money a blessing or a burden, glory or duty, or perhaps both?
Following acclaimed collaborations with Vic Mensa (“Will to Survive”) and Camp Lo (“Don’t Ask Y”), “Money” sets the stage for the group’s upcoming fourth studio album Love Glory Duty Death (out October 24). Bold, brassy, and unafraid to dig deep, this latest single captures everything that makes The Urban Renewal Project such a thrilling listen: a genre-bending sound, anthemic energy, and a lyrical core that dares to ask bigger questions.
