Born Derrick Stewart, Fatlip was a member of the influential underground hip-hop group <a href="spotify:artist:7yk35uHNQclPXFGFoTU44w">the Pharcyde</a> and has also settled into a solo career. In the early '90s, <a href="spotify:artist:4XVxeuUkJRiCYJYdqRpwab">Stewart</a> was working at local clubs around L.A. when he formed <a href="spotify:artist:7yk35uHNQclPXFGFoTU44w">the Pharcyde</a> with Romye "Booty Brown" Robinson, Imani Wilcox, and Tre "Slimkid" Hardson, who were members of a dance troupe known as "242." By the time they were all 21, <a href="spotify:artist:7yk35uHNQclPXFGFoTU44w">the Pharcyde</a> had signed a record deal with Delicious Vinyl and produced three albums filled with sharp lyrics and tight tracks that managed to achieve commercial success while still maintaining a distinct underground flavor.

Fatlip left <a href="spotify:artist:7yk35uHNQclPXFGFoTU44w">the Pharcyde</a> shortly after the release of their 1995 album, Labcabincalifornia, due to creative differences, personal problems, and the desire to start a solo career. As a solo artist, Fatlip continued his innovative work with his loopy first single "What's up Fatlip?" from Prime Cuts, Vol. 1, a collection of new songs and artists on the Delicious Vinyl label. A projected full-length, to be titled Revenge of the Nerd, failed to appear. ~ Jon Azpiri, Rovi
