Uptown (group)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Uptown (업타운) is a Korean hip hop and R&B group which first debuted in 1997. The group's four original members included Chris Jung, Carlos Galvan, Steve Kim and Tasha Reid. The group underwent several lineup changes and then disbanded in 2000. The group made a comeback and released their new album, "Testimony" in May 2006. Steve Kim, Carlos Galvan and Chris Jung returned to the group with only Tasha Reid, the only original member not in the lineup. The female spot in the group was originally given to half-Korean half-African American rapper Say. However the position eventually went to teenage artist Jessica H.O. who was featured in their new album, "Testimony".
