West Coast hip-hop heroes The Pharcyde book an Australian tour for August.
The Pharcyde
The early ‘90s saw an explosion of gangsta rap but it also saw the blossoming of more creative hip-hop groups like (early) Black Eyed Peas, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest and The Pharcyde.
The million-selling Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde is a landmark ‘90s hip-hop album and they were pioneers, drafting the talents of J Dilla and Spike Jonze.
Now the Imani and Bootie Brown are set to bring their street smart and soulful beats and rhymes to Australia once more.
Tickets go on sale this Monday 2 July through OzTix and the venues. Check out the excellent Jonze-directed clip to ‘Runnin’ below, as well as the genius backwards clip to ‘Drop’ (which samples the Beastie Boys).
