UMG Records
A New Breed of Musician Data
Welcome to UMG Records — where innovation meets the pulse of the future in music. Born from the visionary legacy of Urban Media Global, a powerhouse in media technology and artist promotion for over 25 years, UMG Records stands at the forefront of the digital evolution.
Founded by Ruben Burgos, UMG’s roots span advanced virtual advertising (A.V.A.) and cross-domain technology (C.D.T.), servicing industry giants like Roc Nation, Atlantic, Universal, Bad Boy Entertainment, Sony, and Epic. Our unique approach has forever transformed how artists connect with their audiences—creating static, permanent media pages across 2000+ influential music tastemaker websites.
During the unprecedented times of COVID-19, UMG Records emerged as the cultural catalyst — the only recording facility influencing hip hop’s landscape with unmatched creativity and poetic freedom. From Cardi B to Fivio Foreign, Lola Brooke, Scar Lip, Steph G, and beyond, we fostered a movement that shaped the drill scene across New York City and beyond, elevating the genre’s voice in a global context.
As owners of the major independents, UMG Records embodies the spirit of the digital era — asserting the true worth of musicians’ craft and rights. Our mission is clear: to revolutionize the industry by empowering the next generation of artists with data-driven insights, authentic connections, and unbounded creative freedom.
Join us on this journey — where music, technology, and culture collide to create a new wave of artists redefining the future.
