Detroit-born
Producer/Engineer/Songwriter Urb Tactics has been at it for
about 11 years. It all started in 1996 when he “borrowed” a
Casio keyboard from a high school music room. “When I was
younger, I was really into art…as far as sketching and
painting, I was actually pretty good at it, very good
infact….but as the years went by I simple became bored of art
altogether and luckily I gained access to a hidden talent that
I could have easily never tapped into, due to the simple fact,
back then, fruity loops and all these other silly programs
wasn’t popping’ off back in the 90’s…it was basically hardware
and if you didn’t have the money, you wasn’t going to have
it.” Urb spent hours in his room making “beats” with that
cheap Casio, even hotwired together a 4 track recorder with a
voice-activated recorder and a 2nd tape recorder. “What I did
was splice the wires from the microphone on the tape recorder
and crossed them with some wires from the tape recorder and
ended up being able to record 2 signals at a time….and I was
using cassettes and we all know how the cassettes could be
recorded over, but with a little bit of distortion, so I know
I was good for about 3 or 4 tracks and then I had to stop
[laughing]…those beats were beyond wack, but I was dedicated.
11 years later, Urb has stepped far and beyond a crude Casio
and tape recorder setup and now has equipment such as the
Roland fantom and the legendary Nord Lead 2x, “I’m a bit older
now and my money is right so I’m able to get my hands on
quality equipment and at this point, the music is paying for
itself, selling beats for a couple thousand here and a couple
thousand there, its almost like I’m getting the equipment for
free because whatever money music brings in for me, goes right
back into music, its an investment process….something that a
lot of the new jack beat makers out there don’t really
understand, they only understand a free copy of fruity loops
and a mouse in a lot of cases, which Software is fine….but if
you’re serious about ANYTHING, you should have no problem
putting money behind yourself and staying on top of upgrading
your tools for your craft, this is how it is in every
profession and music isn’t an exception.”

I couldn't have said it better myself. niggaz is hot and i don't see why it's taking so long to stand out in a crowd of people who ain't....shit baffles me
i feel you my nigga. i didn't really get excited when i heard neither. i was just like i'll see if it got played tomorrow. lol. i don't care. i want the check. lol that's the only thing bout to make me bust out cheesing. lol
i don't know. they called me and told me too but i ain't have no way to listen so i don't know if they played it or not. who know. what i do know is a nigga need a check. lmao
Oh lord! They might hate me then lol. I'm going to go to the bar and ask for henn and cranberry and they are going to look at me like "we only drink ace of spades" here lol... what about douchester or some shit like that isn't that semi ghetto??
I am doing good. Been kindof crazy around here with trying to get my business off the ground. I knew that it was alot of paperwork involved, but my gosh! It's wayyyyyyyyyy to much; and all the legal terms suck! I'm trying not to have to hire an attorney but I think I might. So you are going back to school huh?!?! Congrats!!! I'm so happy for you. So how did you get the military to pay for your schooling and living expenses? I thought after you got out, they didn't pay anymore. I think an architech would be a great career path. As long as you love drawing and dreaming, it should be a good fit. Jordan is doing good, and yes she is still doing pagents. She has another one on the 4th of July in Atlanta, so hopefully she will do good on that one too. I personally am tired of them, and they cost way to much money and take to much of my time; but as long as she is enjoying herself, I will let her continue to do them. As soon as she says she is tired of them, I will not have any objections. I told her you said hello, and she said hi and that you need to send her a picture so that she can put it on her "wall of fame" in her room. lol That good is crazy, but what can I say, she got it from me.
Hey sweetie, how are you doing? It's been awhile so I was just saying hi. I've been busy as usual, but I did get to take a vacation last month. Went to the beach for awhile and just chilled out. *MwAh* Love ya
We moved to Jacksonville, FL last year....I love it down here. Justin is taller than me and very handsome...looks like he's 18, but he's only 12...lol. I hate taking him places where kids eat free...I have to show his ID card to prove his age..lol. I can see from your pics that your music career is taking off very well. I am so proud of you. Just make sure the network contacts me when they do your E!True Hollywood Story...lol...I gots lots of stuff to tell them about you!!!...lmfao Peace!!!
