biography
In 1991 The Pharcyde signed a record deal with the music label Delicious Vinyl . Her debut album Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde was released in 1992. The album was positively received in the trade press, but only reached number 75 in the American charts. This was followed by tours with A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul and an appearance at the Lollapalooza Festival in 1994. A year later, they released their second album Labcabincalifornia . This was followed by a longer break. The third album, Plain Rap , was only released in 2000 after a five-year break on the Four Music label of the German hip-hop band Die Fantastischen Vier . In 2004 the fourth album Humboldt Beginnings was released on their own label Chapter One.
The specialty of the music video for the song Drop is that it was recorded with less than ten cuts and is shown backwards. In order to make the mouth movements look in sync with the music, the musicians had to practice rapping long sections "backwards".
On April 24, 2008, an official press release confirmed that the hip-hop group had reunited in the original line-up.
