A BRIEF URB1 BIOGRAPHY
Urb1 is copyrighted and a registered trademark of Urb1. Created in July of 2002, Urb1 was the 1st totally hiphop fashion website online! Originaly known as the Urban Fashion Guide, a tool to give the south half of the US, easy access to new fashion, Urb1 revolutionized the web by exposing the mass hiphop fashion crowd online, looking to buy clothing. This in turn set off and advertising revolution that even we didn't expect, which in turn caused the number of online hiphop clothing stores to increase heavily! And if you think we are wrong, please review the stats since we started!

Since our creation, the only problems encountered, is people trying to mimic our site or just all out copying it. We hope people do not support these at all. Those sites will never be the original, nor get the same results as Urb1 (the originator online for urban & hiphop fashion) because they are built with wrong intentions and have no love for fashion or even may'be hiphop at that. As P. Diddy would say, "We ain't going nowere... we can't be stopped.. It's Urbbbb 1"! Visitors that come to our site are looking for hiphop fashion strictly. Urb1 will never produce misleading links or ads.

WHY THE NAME CHANGE?
The Urban Fashion Guide was changed into Urb1 directly upon the 3rd layout release in January of 2004. The reason being, is simply people had created sites named so similiar to ours that it was a must something was created that just totally seperated us from any competition. Is this the last name? We hope so, eventhough we are looking into other, more personal names...

PLACES YOU'VE SEEN URB1?
Urb1 has been seen all over the internet. It even has top search rank listings in all the premier search engines without paid for advertising. Major and minor sites have mostly been or still are affiliated with Urb1, as the owner has been involved with online hiphop sites for over 6 years (before the internet boom)! Magazines worldwide have came to our site to get hiphop fashion information, but we are not sure if we're properly credited as we get the calls, but no magazine. Within the US however, you can constantly find Urb1 featured somewhere in XXL magazine! Currently the #1 selling hiphop magazine, which Urb1 also does ad sales for.

HOW MUCH FURTHER WILL URB1 GO?
Personlly, being the owner of Urb1, I want to take this to a new level in the hiphop fashion game. The website has already touched new points of the hiphop fashion game which nobody else has. We got 9,960 unique visitors in one day and plan on getting over 10,000 a day by the end of 2004. The only way we won't reach this point if funding is too low to promote the site.

We created the Urb1 paper-back (newsletter) magazine in Feb 2004. Sent out free of charge, Urb1 wants it to be the century 2000's answer to what Eastbay catalogue was in the mid 1990's to the hiphop and urban communities. In short, we want everybody to be looking at it!

After the newsletter is operating stable, we plan on doing an Urb1 hiphop fashion show in Greenville, SC and may'be taking it on tour to other cities. Once again, support from designers and retailers come into play with this. We want to launch the only strictly hiphop fashion show in G-ville, SC which is perfectly located between Charlotte, NC and Atlanta, GA because there's higher demand in these areas where fashion is released later than other coasts. Not to mention, the Upstate Metro of SC hosts 2 million+ people, the Charlotte, NC metro hosts another 3 million+, and the Atlanta metro hosts 5 million+! Between those 10 million southern people, it's gauranteed to be a major marketing and sales event if we get to organize it as we have pre-planned!
