The Federation is a hip-hop group from
Fairfield, California, part of the
San Francisco Bay Area. The group consist of
Doonie Baby (now
Doon Koon),
Stressmatic, and
Goldie Gold, along with their producer
Rick Rock. Rick Rock and Doonie Baby's friendship and collaborative work dates back to the early '90s in
Alabama, where they recorded as two-thirds of the group
Cosmic Slop Shop along with
Big Lurch. At age 16 and using a wheelchair after being shot, the Nevada-born,
Fairfield/Vallejo-raised
Federation member Goldie Gold met Rick Rock at a local mall, impressing
Rock with his rapping skills. In
2002, Rick Rock recruited Doonie Baby, Goldie Gold, and Mr.
Stress to form the group.
Their first single "Hyphy", which featured
E-40, debuted in
2003, the title soon becoming an established slang term in
Bay Area hip-hop music. The group's self-titled debut
album was released under
Virgin Records (C) to good critical reception. In
2005, Rick Rock signed the group under
Reprise Records, releasing the group's follow-up album
It's Whateva in the summer of
2007.

The Album (The Federation album)
The Album is the debut album by The Federation, released on
October 5, 2004 through Virgin Records. The Album was entirely produced by the group's founder, Rick Rock.
Despite being released for a major label, The Album was poorly promoted and was a commercial failure, just managing to reach the bottom of the
Billboard 200 at No.
200. The album's two
singles, "Go
Dumb" and "Hyphy", also failed to find much success, only reaching 95 and 88 respectively on the
Billboard Hot R&B;/Hip-Hop
Songs chart.
