[[UGK]] (short for Underground Kingz) was an American hip hop duo from Port Arthur, Texas, formed in 1987 by Chad "Pimp C" Butler (now deceased). He then joined with Bernard "Bun B" Freeman, who became his longtime partner.
 
In 1992, UGK was signed to Jive Records under a five-album contract, releasing their major-label debut album, ''Too Hard to Swallow''. While it featured several new recordings, it also featured several songs that had been culled from ''The Southern Way''. However, several songs that had been intended to be included on the album were excised at the last minute, apparently due to their overly explicit content. Five of these songs would surface two months before the release of ''Too Hard to Swallow'', on an EP distributed by Bigtyme Recordz; appropriately enough, the EP was titled ''Banned''. A popular song from the album "''Pocket Full of Stones''" was also included on the ''Menace II Society'' soundtrack in 1993.
