Urban Ave 31
is much more than a group of talented musicians, vocalists, and
artists. It is a movement of like-minded individuals who use music
and message, best described as "soul fusion" to bring
forth positive change in the world.
Lead
Signer Raheem DeVaughn
along with vocalist Tennyson Richards and producer/mc/dj Omar "Mr.
Who?" Retnu make up the founding members. Other members of
the Urban Ave family include K'Alyn, Big T., Will Rast, Kinard Cherry,
Sean Chase, The Remainz, and manager Derrick Chase to name a few.
Their first CD "The Healing" merges R&B, Hip Hop,
Roots, and Soul with captivating messages that address the social,
spiritual, and political issues of the planet. The listener can
feel the sincerity in the vocals and lyrics of Raheem
DeVaughn, bob their heads to the banging beats of Omar
Retnu, and peep the flow of Mr. Who? and his Remainz counterparts
Markee and Brian Jackson.
"The
Healing," written by Raheem
DeVaughn and produced by Mr. Who? , features guest
appearances by W. Ellington Felton and Terrence Brown. Warm, fluid
harmonies, bare element production, and social consciousness makes
"The Healing" a CD people will listen to for years to
come.
Manager Derrick
Chase, the marketing savvy poet from Baltimore, commited to "universal
change," recognized the kindred spirit in the group and knew
they were a part of a much needed formula for musical healing and
began working with them in 2000.
The future for
Urban Ave 31 is boundless and timeless, but some of the immediate
works include "The Healing Pt. 2, a solo release from Raheem
DeVaughn, and collaborations with other Urban Ave family members.
The group will be touring internationally and nationally, touching
hearts by spreding love and positive vibrations.
