Life 'n Perspectives of a Genuine Crossover is the second album by the Dutch rap rock band Urban Dance Squad, released in 1991 by Ariola in Europe and Arista Records in the United States. The album showcases an even more diverse mix of music genres than their debut album, genres including hard rock, hip-hop, funk, blues, ska, Caribbean music and an Indian flavour on "Bureaucrat of Flaccostreet". AllMusic calls the album "aimless", particularly in comparison with their first album. Critic Steven Blush, who interviewed the band in New York just prior to the album's release, called it "stellar". The album peaked at number 190 on the Australian ARIA Chart. N.B. The High Point number in the NAT column represents the release's peak on the national chart.
The album, unhelped by a single (to the dismay of label boss Clive Davis), did not sell particularly well and the band was unhappy with the label's marketing efforts. The band left Arista and signed with Virgin Records.
