Urban Street Level (USL) is a high energy, up tempo contemporary music group thats objective is to engage audiences where ever they perform and minister in worship and praise. Excitement, Authenticity and Anointing are the trademarks USL
USL was started in 1991 with a vision of Elwood Jones to reach primarily teens all over the United States and in foreign countries. The purpose was clear for doing this type of ministry as a result of observing teens in urban communities being disconnected from God. Churches and Communities seem to have lacked excellence in reaching teens and for the most part appeared ineffective musically and non-relevant in its presentation of the gospel. Simply put Elwood found youth bored with the things of God. God appeared weak to teens.
It was that frustration that formed the group with a vision to evangelize Urban America with Hip-Hop, R&B and a Jazzy sound.
USL primary primary objective was first to evangelize and second to worship and praise in a contemporary style that would be appealing to a young person.
USL got National attention thru a series of articles in CCM Magazine, Release Magazine, Heavens Hip Hop, CMN Distribution and worship Magazine. It was the printed media and the Grammy and Dove award winning producer Tedd T. that gave the group instead credibility and radio airplay.
One of USL main core values is to see all people groups be engaged in worship no matter the race or color.
USL has altered its vision over the past 7 years to focus more on Worship and Praise and a lesser role in evangelism.
USL believes there is no higher call than to give God worship. (God is looking for those who would worship Him in spirit and in truth)
