Both subgenre integrate Hip Hop in Jazz.

Can I say Jazz Rap is part of the Urban Jazz movement? Or are they seperated?

Does Jazz Rap mean strictly rapping, while Urban Jazz means vocal can be in a more RnB tone?

Urban jazz is the fusion of smooth jazz and R&B/hip-hop music. Urban jazz usually contains strong R&B percussion and bass lines. The better known urban jazz artists are Boney James, Urban Jazz Coalition, Nick Colionne, Wayman Tisdale, and Paul Jackson, Jr.

Jazz rap is a fusion of alternative hip hop and jazz, developed in the very late 1980s and early 1990s. Known for intellectual, often socio-political or Afrocentric lyrics and jazz beats (sometimes performed by a live band, instead of sampled), jazz rap has not become a huge mainstream success; it instead sells primarily to a small specialized fan base.

Though some claim the proto-hip hop, jazzy poet Gil Scott-Heron the beginning of jazz rap, the genre arose in 1988 with the release of the debut singles by Gang Starr ("Words I Manifest", which samples Charlie Parker) and Stetsasonic ("Talkin' All That Jazz", which samples Lonnie Liston-Smith).

I feel Jazz is in a class of its own, rap is rap, jazz is jazz, and R&B is all different. So yes Rap is strictly rapping.
