The Urban Sophisticates

About

The Urban Sophisticates is a hip-hop group from North Carolina, unique for its decision to incorporate a full horn section, which has become the signature of the band's sound. While its musical style strays from the hip-hop norm, so does its lyrics; The Urban Sophisticates doesn't rap about money and cars, and has more mature lyrical matter to express than diamonds - this might be why the group has been described as "post-bling" hip-hop.
