Torpor: Pharcyde reunion[edit]

On February 18, 2022, Fatlip released the lead single, “Dust in the Wind”, off of his new solo album, “Torpor”, produced by Los Angeles–based production team Sccit & Siavash The Grouch. The single, featuring Krayzie Bone, marks the first time a member of The Pharcyde has collaborated with a member of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony. The second single, released on April 20, 2022, is a collaborative effort with RBX of Death Row Records & M.O titled “Wake Up” and includes a music video themed around the Los Angeles homeless epidemic. The album was officially released exclusively on CD on January 29, 2022. The next single, titled “My Bad”, was released on August 1, 2022, as the first complete Pharcyde song in over 25 years (including all 4 original members). Surrounded by controversy, the reunion song made big headlines when Rolling Stone wrote a piece detailing the on-going inner conflict within the group. The album was finally released digitally on August 23, 2022. The 4th Single, “Energy”, was released September 9, 2022, and features Sccit on the 2nd verse, as well as RBX narrating. An eclectic video for the song was released that same day. “Torpor” also includes Butch Cassidy (singer), as well as production by Jellyroll, Chris Taylor (music producer) AKA The Glove and more.[7][8]
