DESCRIPTION:Join us at Kilo Lounge Friday May 22nd for more than 20 years o
 f Hip Hop as The Pharcyde will be stoping through Singapore with a live per
 formance you won't want to miss.\n\nSupported by a live performance by Loca
 l Hip Hop artist Eastside Barrio and beats by Matteblacc to continue the pa
 rty!\n\nIn the early 90’s\, when gangsta’ rap consumed the airwaves\, and t
 he majority of West Coast rappers strapped on their Locs\, Chuck Taylor’s &
  Ben Davis’\, The Pharcyde decidedly maintained a willfully weird vision. O
 pting to stay true to themselves with their left field but still South-Cent
 ral sensibility\, rap had seen few groups so self-deprecating and so smart\
 , four visionary rappers adroitly able to split the difference between heli
 um-voiced and hard-core.\n\nListening 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\,” i
 t is not surprising that it shipped over a million units\, garnered compari
 sons to De La Soul and Tribe Called Quest\, and everyone from Pitchfork Med
 ia to The Source has hailed it as one of the greatest albums ever made.\n\n
 Speaking on the passage of time\, their second release “LabCabInCalifornia”
  has revealed exactly how far-reaching The Pharcyde’s vision was. From enli
 sting a young and then unknown James Yancey aka J DILLA to produce beats\, 
 the classic “Runnin” to collaborating with director Spike Jonze (“Being Joh
 n Malkovich” “Adaptation”) on the video for “Drop\,” it has consistently re
 inforced their steadfast refusal to tread familiar artistic grounds.\n\nTod
 ay\, The Pharcyde is still performing and touring the globe recently on the
 ir TransCyde Express Tour. They continue to hone their individual abilities
  yet carry on the name & legacy in its original fashion. They still seduce 
 their audience with the same boyish charm that founded them at the beginnin
 g. Now\, it’s combined with the knowledge that has been bestowed upon them 
 as men who have taken on\, and rose to the challenge of the rap game. The e
 nd result of all this hard work is a band that’s still influencing the hip 
 hop artists and sounds crowding our radio waves today and will continue to 
 for many years to come.
