Found this quite an interesting story today on the BBC
Drake and Ariana Grande's record label drops the term 'urban'
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-52962626
"Republic Records, one of the most powerful record labels in the US, will stop using the word "urban" to describe music of black origin.
The company, which is home to Drake and Ariana Grande, says it will no longer use the term to describe "departments, employee titles and music genres".
"We encourage the rest of the music industry to follow suit," it added.
The term is often considered to be a generalisation that marginalises music by black artists."
The keyword has some decent sales history according to Namebio, with over 30 sales this year and 507 in total.
The biggest reported sale was for $25,000 back in 2017 for UrbanLegends.com
Will be interesting to see if this has an impact outside of the music industry for this keyword.....
