The Pharcyde - Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde

Widely celebrated as one of the most imaginative and beloved hip hop albums of the early nineties, Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde returns in a digitally remastered and expanded 25th Anniversary edition. This special vinyl pressing features the full original album plus an entire bonus disc packed with material from the era’s singles, including “Ya Mama,” “Otha Fish,” and the timeless, chart-topping “Passin’ Me By.”

Released on November 24, 1992, the Pharcyde’s debut arrived at a moment when West Coast hip hop was dominated by gangsta rap, and it immediately stood apart. Produced by J-Swift and featuring only one guest spot from the then-underground LA rapper Bucwheed, the album offered something entirely different — playful, offbeat, and rich with jazz-infused production.

Its witty storytelling, eccentric personalities, and lush, funky beats have earned the record enduring acclaim, placing it alongside cornerstones of alternative hip hop like 93 'til Infinity. Critics and fans alike continue to hail Bizarre Ride II as a genre-defining classic for its humor, vulnerability, and soulful creativity.

A landmark debut given the deluxe treatment it deserves — essential listening for hip hop collectors and fans of the golden era.
