Widely regarded as a pioneering album of the West Coast’s then-emerging alternative hip-hop scene, The Pharcyde’s 1992 debut Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde makes a triumphant re-appearance two decades later in this deluxe 3xCD box-set by the good folks at Delicious Vinyl.
Drawing from a laundry list of sampled jazz and soul greats to construct its musical sound-scape Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde marked the beginning of The Pharcyde’s journey in the arena of beloved hip-hop icons in the decades to come.
Sonically, producer J-Sw!ft’s jazzy sampling and lush instrumentation provide a stark contrast to the hard-hitting gangsta rap dominating West Coast’s contributions to hip-hop of the time, further complementing the laid-back comedic lyricism of emcees Fatlip, Bootie Brown, Imani, and Slimkid3 with a style seldom heard since.
This superbly arranged deluxe re-issue includes the original album in its entirety, plus two additional discs including instrumentals, remixes, and ‘B-cydes.’
Fans will be pleased to find producer J-Sw!ft’s extended liner notes included alongside vintage photos of the group.
This deluxe re-issue is housed in a beautiful hinged box with magnetic clasp emblazoned with the iconic rollercoaster cover art by Fuct.
This updated release of The Pharcyde’s classic album makes for a bizarre ride not to be missed.
Released on 23rd July 2012.
