The Black Eyed Peas

The Black Eyed Peas (BEP) are a multi-ethnic hip hop act, focused on making the kind music that touches base with real issues prevailing in our society. Their soulful tunes are penned around lyrics that reflect on their integrity and original style, as well as baring various social awareness messages. The band was formed with Will.I.Am, and Apl.de.Ap back in 1989. They were commonly heard around L. A., and known as Atban Klann. After a failed contract with Ruthless record in 1995 they found their third member Taboo, renamed themselves as The Black Eyed Peas and finally landed a record deal with Interscope Records. The then trio’s debut album Behind the Front was a compilation of up-tempo grooves with a very distinct authenticity that made their sound heart felt and addictive. Their sophomore album Bridging the Gap was a follow up to their uncontroversial yet deeply moving style, that established a seeded place on the music scene; though on the back burner for quite some time, they are back with their third release Elephunk. In this phenomenal compilation of 14 tracks including hits like 'Where is the love' and the most recent radio favorite – 'Hey Mama'. They are a semi under ground band with an incredible musical spirit and vision paired with soulful vocals, presented authentically.  Newest member Fergie future catalysed the bands image with varied vocal range.

They undoubtedly found a whole new level of fame, recognition, and a stash of new fans with Elephunk, an album that has a touch of pop tempo, and street style. Their mainstream credibility comes from a fuss free style that was once adored by fans of groups like ‘Arrested Development’. There music this time around takes a fresh approach to settle into the current music scene with solid presence without fading in the background. .
