Urban Hang Suite is the debut studio album by Maxwell, released in 1996 on Columbia Records. The album is widely regarded as one of the defining records of the neo soul movement, helping to establish the genre alongside contemporaries like D'Angelo and Erykah Badu.

Blending classic soul, funk, and R&B influences with a lush, cinematic production style, Urban Hang Suite was conceived as a continuous listening experience — a suite in the truest sense. Maxwell worked closely with producer Leon Ware and arranger Hod David to craft an album that flows seamlessly from track to track, evoking the intimate atmosphere of a late-night gathering.

The album features the hit singles Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder) and Sumthin' Sumthin', both of which became staples of 90s soul radio. It was certified platinum and earned Maxwell a Grammy nomination, launching one of the most celebrated careers in contemporary R&B.
