Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde

The Pharcyde is a West Coast hip-hop group formed in Los Angeles in 1991, consisting of members Slim Kid Tre, Fatlip, J-Swift, and Bootie Brown. They emerged during the early 1990s golden age of LA hip-hop, releasing their landmark debut album 'Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde' in 1992, which became a classic of alternative hip-hop. The album featured innovative production from producers including J Dilla and In-A-Minute, and included the hit single 'Drop' and the iconic track 'Ooh Child' (a sample of the Dapps' original). Their follow-up album 'Labcabincalifornia' (1995) continued their experimental approach, though with less commercial success. The group faced internal turmoil and lineup changes in the late 1990s, though they have reunited for tours and occasional recordings in subsequent decades.
