Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite is the first album by Maxwell. When the album was finished in 1994, Columbia Records had doubts about the album's potential, and shelved it for two years, but finally issued it in 1996. It did not catch on until the release of its second single, "Ascension (Don't Ever Wonder)", which became a hit. Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite sold over 500,000 copies, earning gold status, and was nominated for a Grammy Award. It was heavily inspired by the sound of classic soul music.
