The group signed to Delicious Vinyl and achieved international success and recognition for their tracks ‘Passin’ Me By’, ‘Drop’, ‘Ya Mama’ and ‘Runnin’, as well as their 1991 debut album ‘Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde’, which became a seminal staple of rap’s golden era. The group appeared on the Brand New Heavies rap collaboration album ‘Heavy Rhyme Experience vol.1’ out on Delicious Vinyl and toured with Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul. The Pharcyde released a further 3 albums ‘Labcabincalifornia’ (1995) which was produced by the late, great J‑Dilla, ‘Plain Rap’ (2000) and ‘Humboldt Beginnings’ (2004). The group continues to tour and record collaboratively and in solo projects – including Bootie Brown’s appearance on two Gorillaz albums ‘Demon Dayz’ (2005) and ‘Cracker Island’ (2022) and Slimkid3’s collaboration with Jurassic Five’s DJ Nu-Mark on a 2014 EP on Delicious Vinyl. The Pharcyde, will tour the UK as a trio consisting of Imani, Slimkid3 and Fatlip.
Lords Of The Underground are the rap trio: DoltAll, Mr Funke and DJ Lord Jazz from Newark, New Jersey. The group released their debut ‘Here Come The Lords’ 30 years ago in 1993, with its breakthrough hit ‘Chief Rocka’. The album was hailed as one of the Top 50 greatest albums with the dopest beats of all time in a year that brought East Coast Hip-Hop to the fore alongside groups like Black Moon, Onyx, The Wu-Tang Clan, Naughty By Nature and Big Daddy Kane.
The Pharcyde said “It’s been a minute since we been passin’ by the UK, but we love our UK fans, it’s gonna be a total blast performing in London, Manchester and Bristol. Come through, we’ll see you then!”
