Uptown (Korean: 업타운) was a pioneering South Koreanhip hop group that formed in 1997. The group's four original members were Chris Jung, Carlos Galvan, Steve Kim and Tasha Reid.[1][2]
Chris Jung (1996-present) Carlos Galvan (1997-2006) Steve Kim (1997-2006) Tasha Reid (1997-2000) Jessica H.O (2006) Maniac (2009-2010) Snacky Chan (2009-2010) Swings (2009)
The group underwent several line-up changes during the 90s and disbanded in 2000 following drug charges against Jung, Galvan, and Kim.[3] When Reid left Uptown to pursue a solo career, the group made a comeback without her in 2006 with the album Testimony.[1][4] Teenage rapper Jessica H. O. joined the group for the album.[5] Jung was the only remaining original member on the group's 2009 album, New Era, which featured new members Maniac, Snacky Chan, and Swings.[6] Uptown has been inactive since its 2010 album Surprise![7]
Uptown members Carlos Galvan and Steve Kim formed a duo called Uptown 3000 in 2002. The duo was signed to a label in Atlanta, Georgia and was meant to break into the U.S. hip hop market. However, they released only one album, 2003's Same Book Different Chapter, before disbanding.[2]
