    From this Wikipedia description, it not only involves blacks but also people from other groups. If it were called "street literature" there would be no euphemism, I think. Urban still means from the city, though given the state of many American cities... maybe these kids are on to something.

    Wiki:

    If there are worthy or promising hardboiled or noir authors of street lit, perhaps we should take a look, no?

    Best,
