In an article for Rolling Stone, Latin music editor Suzy Exposito approved of Remezcla’s decision, writing that “urbano” is largely a marketing term that does not do justice to the actual music being made - which is predominantly by non-Black artists. ‘Urbano’ comes with a fraught and problematic history reeking of exclusion and othering.” “Within the recording industry and in award shows, the word has been used as a way to separate Black artists, while hypocritically allowing many white artists to freely navigate in and out of numerous categories - including urban.
“These are terms that are inextricably linked to a history of exclusion and segregation within the music industry,” wrote Cepeda. The music editor released an editorial note on the publication’s website addressing why it will discontinue the use of the terms “urbano” and “música urbana,” and instead replace it with the term “movimiento.” Music How Bad Bunny broke every rule of Latin pop - and became its biggest and brightest starīad Bunny may be the ultimate 21st-century global superstar: a bilingual singer, rapper and style icon with progressive social views who releases songs whenever he wants.Įduardo Cepeda of Remezcla, an influential Brooklyn-based Latinx music and culture publication, understands the cultural and musical complexities the term carries. It is the soundtrack of struggle and joy.” Pitchfork, for instance, recently published a list of 50 essential “Urbano” songs, stating, “Música urbana has always provided space for multiplicity - for pleasure, for protest, for romance. However, “urbano” is now used to describe the modern wave of Latin music that has ties with hip-hop and trap music. It is a response, and also a form of resistance, to the displacement of Black communities within Latin America. The term “urbano” originates from Afro-Latinx communities that first created its music and sounds. Moving forward, many have said they will no longer employ the umbrella term “urbano” that is frequently attached to the popular Latin trap, reggaeton and dembow genres, all influenced by hip-hop, made by such artists as Bad Bunny, J Balvin and Karol G. Some influential Latin music journalists have likewise announced they too will be phasing out a similar shorthand.
And on Wednesday, the Recording Academy announced its decision to rename the Grammys’ urban contemporary category to progressive R&B album. Republic Records, home to Drake, Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift, stated it will no longer use the term when referring to departments, employee titles and genres. The catchall term has been used for decades to categorize rhythmic music made by Black artists - R&B and hip-hop, primarily - yet the connotations of its name often serve to segregate those acts from mass-market platforms such as Top 40 radio and limit the range of Black voices accepted within the genre. Urban Strife is coming out next year on Steam, but MicroProse says there will be an opportunity to play before that.In the wake of the nationwide protests sparked by the killing of George Floyd at the hands of police, and following last week’s music business-led Blackout Tuesday, music executives began to reconsider or eliminate the use of the word “urban” to define a genre of music. And speaking of lighting things up, you can use fire as a weapon, which will dynamically destroy anything flammable that it encounters.
You'll be sneakier at night, but using cover, stealth is still viable when the sun is out. Like Jagged Alliance 2, you'll fight during the day and at night, and sticking to the shadows means you'll be able to sneak around and use melee for silent takedowns, or set up your squad for an ambush. Each is still an individual enemy, but when it comes to movement they all act as a single unit. Fighting off hordes of enemies who sluggishly move one by one is a chore, but Urban Strife's reanimated corpses use a horde AI that means they all move in a single turn. The thing is, zombies usually suck in turn-based games. As well as fighting off any factions you've pissed off as you try to expand, you'll naturally encounter some of those moaning, shuffling zombies.
