  • Urban Species — британская хип-хоп группа, основанная в конце 1980- годов в Тоттенеме, на севере Лондона, друзьями детства Питером Акринлолой и Уинстоном Смоллом.

Музыка группы основана на разнообразных стилях (в том числе регги, блюз, фанк, даб, джаз, рагга и акустической фолк) и сочетает в себе живую игру с семплами и программированием.
