Too Hard to Swallow is the debut studio album by Houston hip-hop duo UGK. It was released on November 10, 1992, by Jive Records.
Few artists have gone on to change the landscape of hip-hop. Only a handful of artists remain relevant in the game for more than a decade. Bun B and the late, great Pimp C accomplished both of these feats. UGK aka Underground Kingz was just that, rappers from the dirty South who were the big dogs in their area but at the time couldn’t break the glass ceiling of pop culture. The duo released their debut EP The Southern Way in the early 90s. Someone at Jive Records got a hold of their EP, signed them and the rest is history. UGK released their major label debut Too Hard To Swallow on Nov. 10, 1992, and would go on to be one of the key reasons why Southern hip-hop crossed over to the mainstream.
