The Pharcyde began in the early 90s when gangsta’ rap consumed the airwaves. When most West Coast rappers strapped on their Locs, Chuck Taylor’s and Ben Davis’, The Pharcyde decided to maintain a willfully weird version.

The Pharcyde opted to stay true to themselves with their left field but still South-Central sensibility. Rap had seen few groups so self-deprecating and smart; four visionary rappers adroitly split the difference between helium-voiced and hard-core.

The Pharcyde album “Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde,” which includes songs as “Oh Shit,” “Otha Fish,” “Ya’ Mama,” and the hit single “Passing Me By,” has shipped over a million units, garnered comparisons to groups De La Soul and Tribe Called Quest, and everyone from Pitchfork Media to The Source has hailed it as one of the greatest albums ever made.

Today, The Pharcyde is still performing and touring the globe. They continue to hone their individual abilities yet carry on the name and legacy in its original fashion. They still seduce their audience with the same boyish charm they initially found.

Now, it's combined with the knowledge bestowed upon them as men who have taken on and risen to the challenge of the rap game.
