In the wake of the murder of George Floyd and the subsequent protests, a number of institutions dropped the term "urban" in favor of other terms. In June 2020, Republic Records and artist management company Milk & Honey stated that they would drop the use of the word in relation to music of a black origin. Similarly, the National Academy for Recording Arts and Sciences renamed and redefined the Grammy Award for "Best Urban Contemporary Album" with "Best Progressive R&B Album", "to appropriately categorize and describe this subgenre. This change includes a more accurate definition to describe the merit or characteristics of music compositions or performances themselves within the genre of R&B".
