"As expected, the interaction with the crowd was strong, never cliched, and all very Pharcyde – playful and honest"

30 years after first seeing them play, @andytattersall.bsky.social catches The Pharcyde in fine form at #Sheffield's Network.

#Rap #HipHop #ThePharcyde

A bizarre ride to a good time: The Pharcyde at Network

The test of time hasn’t blunted one of rap’s most loved acts, as The Pharcyde deliver their tried-and-tested formula as to what makes a great hip-hop show.

Seriously thinking we should temporarily rename the Mixcloud page Balearic Breaks Fam 😂 We’re all on quite a chilled, downtempo vibe atm & instrumentals taking the main stage instead of vocals. Really enjoying it, especially for working to 🤓 but I’m sure it will change very soon!
