The Urban Magnate™ originally launched in May 2007, highlighting the then growing Hip Hop Industry and its evolving growth into business and investments. Relaunched in 2025, The Urban Magnate now looks more at the information necessary to invest, grow, and follow the changing US Policy decisions that affect local, national, and global markets. Its still about the culture but now involves nuances that are typically not noticed by markets and mainstream business news. The Urban Magnate™ returns to highlight changes, trends, and financial factors that are noticed first through the various levels of the culture before the boardroom.
Since the economic boom of Hip Hop culture in the late 2000’s, the Hip Hop industry has expanded in to many avenues from podcasting, real estate, and communal forum culture. The important factor has been to help the community become more aware of it’s value without over exposure of “how” things are successful in urban sectors. It’s been a well know issue of many copy-cats and vultures looking to lazily exploit without intent to invest. Due to that factor it’s been important to understand the game over complaining about it.
