UGMG Funky Freestyle

Kyle Stanton Reporting Published on 7-19-2015 In going over earlier stories I have written on various music groups and my observations on the musical industry, I decided it was time to report again on The Urban Gypsies Music Group. The UGMG, as they are affectionately and enthusiastically known by their devoted and growing fan base, have been honing and growing their special creative spark. UGMG created quite a sensation a little while back with a video that went viral. The video was not meant to be released at that time and was pulled back by UGMG almost immediately. At that time, I posted a copy of the video that went on to garner over 160,000 views. It also caused consternation between myself and the band, as well as within the band itself, but it ultimately worked out to be a genuinely exciting and fun experience. The first in a series of videos to be reviewed by this reporter is Funky Freestyle. Speaking to the urban grind of life, Lyrical One, Black Mel, and Smoky of The Urban Gypsies eloquently took me for such a realistic walk in their worlds that I nearly forgot I was sitting at @North Bar. With every word uttered, I felt as if I, too, was living the life, and I celebrated the good and commiserated the bad along with them. Rounding out Sliced Beats star Cos’ resonating track were Professor GX on sax and JoJo on bass. By the time this whirlwind was over, I was almost ready to hop up and tell my own tale. Almost.
