Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde is the debut album from the hip-hop group The Pharcyde, released on November 24, 1992, through Delicious Vinyl Records. The album was produced by former group member J-Swift and features only one guest appearance, provided by the little-known Los Angeles rapper Bucwheed (known then as Buckwheat from The Wascals). In the years after its release, Bizarre Ride has been hailed by music critics and alternative hip-hop fans as a classic hip-hop album, along with Souls of Mischief's 93 'til Infinity, and has appeared in numerous publications' "best albums" lists. Released during the dominant Gangsta rap era of West Coast hip-hop, Bizarre Ride was described as "refreshing" due to its playful, light-hearted humor, and lush, jazzy production.
