Labcabincalifornia

The Pharcyde

A hazy, introspective shift into mature jazz-rap. Dusty J Dilla loops meet vulnerable lyrics about the comedown from sudden fame and fractured relationships.

Find on Amazon

The Pharcyde grew up, got a little sad, and let J Dilla make them sound like a dream.

A mellow, smoke-hazed reflection on the complexities of adulthood and the weight of success.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The hypnotic, backwards-looping guitar lick on 'Drop' that feels like gravity is failing.
The Stan Getz bossa nova sample on 'Runnin'' providing a breezy but melancholic contrast to the lyrics.
The raw, vulnerable vocal delivery on 'Y?' that strips away the group's usual playful mask.
