@AVisionEntertainmentMedia76 In the early 90’s, when gangsta’ rap consumed the airwaves, and the majority of West Coast rappers strapped on their Locs, Chuck Taylor’s & Ben Davis’, The Pharcyde decidedly maintained a willfully weird vision. Opting to stay true to themselves with their left field but still South-Central sensibility, rap had seen few groups so self-deprecating and so smart, four visionary rappers adroitly able to split the difference between helium-voiced and hard-core.

Listening to “Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde” two full decades after its release, its sense of timeliness is unmistakable. Every song on the album inverts a hoary hip-hop cliché. With classics like “Oh Shit,” “Otha Fish”, “Ya’ Mama,” and hit single, “Passing Me By,” it is not surprising that it shipped over a million units, garnered comparisons to 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.

Speaking on the passage of time, their second release “LabCabInCalifornia” has revealed exactly how far-reaching The Pharcyde’s vision was. From enlisting a young and then unknown James Yancey aka J DILLA to produce beats, the classic “Runnin” to collaborating with director Spike Jonze (“Being John Malkovich” “Adaptation”) on the video for “Drop,” it has consistently reinforced their steadfast refusal to tread familiar artistic grounds.

Bootie Brown is a Hip-Hop artist and producer who helped craft the sound of non-gangster West Coast music. The world first K heard his patented flow on The Pharcyde’s “Passin’ Me By”. The debut album Bizarre Ride I The Pharcyde and Labcabincalifornia rightly cemented his legacy in Hip-Hop.

Their patented blend of jazzy beats, fresh lyrics and original song ideas was unmatched. Bootie Brown sunk deep into music production and got serious praise as he co-produced the iconic De La Soul remix of Ego Trippin’. He also put in work with the legendary J Dilla. Brown is a true creative and early adapter to the transitions of Hip-hop and House/ Dance music from day one
