Biography

Black Eyed Peas' debut, Behind the Front, was released to critical acclaim, not only for the trio of MCs, but for their live band and backing vocalist [roviLink="MN0001982205"]Kim Hill as well. Featuring guest appearances from Jurassic 5's Chali 2na, De La Soul, and Macy Gray, BEP's follow-up, Bridging the Gap, was released in 2000. 2003's Elephunk featured a new member (Fergie, who replaced Kim Hill) and became their biggest hit yet, storming the Top 40 with three singles ("Where Is the Love?," "Hey Mama," "Let's Get It Started"). Two years later, the quartet returned with Monkey Business, which pushed them into the stratosphere courtesy of the hit single "My Humps." ~ Wade Kergan
