The Pharcyde

In the early '90s, The Pharcyde emerged with a unique style in the gangsta rap-dominated West-Coast scene, embracing a self-deprecating and quirky approach that set them apart. Their debut, Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde, flipped hip-hop conventions on their head, with hits like "Oh Shit," "Otha Fish," and "Passing Me By," leading it to achieve platinum status and comparisons to De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest. Their second album, Labcabincalifornia, showcased their forward-thinking vision by featuring the young J Dilla and Spike Jonze's direction for the "Drop" video. Decades later, The Pharcyde still tours, staying true to their original charm and artistry while continuing to influence new generations in hip-hop.

Today, The Pharcyde is still performing and touring the globe recently on their TransCyde Express Tour. They continue to hone their individual abilities yet carry on the name & legacy in its original fashion. They still seduce their audience with the same boyish charm that founded them at the beginning. Now, it's combined with the knowledge that has been bestowed upon them as men who have taken on, and rose to the challenge of the rap game. The end result of all this hard work is a band that's still influencing the hip hop artists and sounds crowding our radio waves today and will continue to for many years to come.
