Sharp lyrics, smooth vocals, and a great blend of brass, guitar, bass, and drums makes this live hip-hop project stand out on this sophomore effort by The Urban Sophisticates.
Bio / Background
As written by Brian Clarey for Yes Weekly
“Label it what you want,” Benton says. “I tell everybody that we’re a live hip-hop band, but there’s so much more to us if you listen.”
Right now he’s testing the limits of the stool that’s propping him up '" Benton is a big man and he makes the thing look like it belongs in a first-grade classroom. He’s sensitive about his size; the opening lyric of the title track on the band’s new CD, Coward’s Anthem makes that clear: “I know I’m not the handsomest/ and the car that I drive ain’t the fanciest/ but if I took a couple inches off the waistline/ would it be enough for you to want to be mine?”
After the refrain brother Aaron comes in with the bridge, singing sweet like Nate Dogg with brass accents in the background: “I’m not lazy won’t you please believe me/ I’m just a brother that likes to chill.”
“It’s a song about having feelings for a girl and not having the courage to say it,” Benton says.

Excellent album!nutnbaby wrote on February 06, 2008
Every song on this album is great. Excellent beats, memorable lyrics... great all around "feel." A must have! Reminds me of "Freestylers." Best song on the album? Coward's Anthem!
