[edit] Biography
Besides being a part of the famous group A Tribe Called Quest, Phife has done many appearances on songs with other artists. He was featured on the Fu-Schnickens song La Schmoove, Diamond D's Painz & Strife along with Pete Rock, and Black Sheep's Let the Horns Blow with Al' Tariq and Trugoy among others. In 2000 he released his first solo LP "Ventilation: Da LP" to mostly negative reviews, although the criticism centered largely on the production's eclectic and seemingly lazy nature. Currently Phife is anticipating a second album titled Songs in the Key of Phife.
