The second edition of URB ALT Media's free music compilation, “URB ALT Sampler-Dos," offers more genre blurring sounds from around the globe. The compilation collects songs by various eclectic artists including Gil Scott-Heron, Grizzly Bear, MuthaWit, Meshell Ndegeocello, Toro y Moi, No Bra, BLK JKS, Free Moral Agents, and Leila Adu among many others. URB ALT's history of producing the URB ALT showcase and annual festival has exposed the presenters to wonderful signed and unsigned artists deserving of further recognition.

URB ALT founder Boston Fielder, says “Critics suggest that pop music is pointless while avant garde music is aimless. When a soul legend like Gil Scott-Heron covers MS Delta bluesman Robert Johnson's “Me And The Devil" and plays back alongside rising young creators from Germany, London, South Africa and Brooklyn the vibration is hella expansive. I'd like to think that the 18 exciting artists on URB ALT Sampler - Dos agree that nothing is more paradigm changing than great pop and nothing insures popular longevity than heartfelt experimentation."

URB ALT Sampler-Dos is available for free as an album-only digital download at the URB ALT site (urbalt.ning.com), Amazon.com and ITunes.
