URB ALT Festival 2011
NEW YORK, NY: URB ALT Festival, the music/visual arts/film event dedicated to presenting the cutting edge in alternative lifestyles rolls out for the sixth year in New York City. URB ALT has programmed highly eclectic bills in the past with artists such as Parliament/Funkadelic, Twin Shadow, Kyp Malone of TV on the Radio, Kaki King and writer/activist Farai Chideya. 2011 is no different. The main performance bill at Rebel NYC on September 30 features the rock/soul/jazz mutants of MuthaWit collaborating with space age Hip Hop maestro, Jneiro Jarel.

MuthaWit's star is on the rise with new projects including the soundtrack to the feature film “Phlo," an album of Minnie Riperton songs blessed by her husband Richard Rudolph and an upcoming production boasting legendary songwriter/producer, Leon Ware(Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, Maxwell, etc.). Jneiro Jarel a.k.a. Dr. Who Dat? has been incredibly busy working with MF Doom and recording an album in the Democratic Republic of Congo with Damon Albarn of Gorillaz fame. URB ALT founder Boston Fielder states that “Each year of the UA Fest we try to incorporate another artform. Some have said we've not given Hip Hop it's due but with Jneiro Jarel it really gets no better. He's so on the edge creatively that I call him a Hip Hope artist."
