Pre – empting all other beat eclectics, Urban Species ,with their unique approach to making music and their engaging live shows offer a tangent of blues, funk , jazz and reggae combining live playing and samples to create their own definitive sound and feel . They deliver incisive and worthwhile lyrics addressing universal issues relevant to all.
Promoting Peace, Love and Unity and having fun doing it. Urban Species are one of the UK’s most innovative Black music groups and remain one of UK Raps most successful exports to date.
The story so far ………….
Urban Species hail from Tottenham in North London. Growing up amidst the backdrop of diverse cultural heritage, founders, Mintos and Renegade had known each other for most of there young lives attending the same infant, primary and secondary schools together. In the 80s, as teenagers, they embraced an emerging Hip Hop culture; however their musical environment was not solely limited to Electro and Rap Music.
They were just as likely to be found at a sound system (Reggae Dancehall) as they were at a Hip-Hop jam, Blues or the occasional Rave. The connecting factor of such diversity was the underground nature of them.
It was in 88 when” Renegade (Winston Small) and Mintos (Peter Akinrinlola) first realised that they shared the same love of music and set about writing together.
