about_ URSUSTHEBEΛR®

 

Founded by ARTHUR_LEE aka ALPHA, URSUSTHEBEΛR® is a Canadian street-cult underground label, inspired by street culture with a dose of metal.

 

The OG signature Lion-Like Bear Headed motif represents the strong and powerful form of a bear with the nobility, pride, and wisdom of a lion. The label promotes the idea of strength, boldness, and courage to strive for excellence in the cruel world via its creativity and crafts.
