Fatlip (born Derrick Stewart March 26, 1969) is a Los Angeles-born hip hop musician. He started his career in the hip hop group The Pharcyde.

Early career

The Pharcyde

As a member of The Pharcyde, Fatlip contributed to the critically acclaimed Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde as well as the follow-up release Labcabincalifornia. After the release of the Labcabincalifornia album, Fatlip was kicked out of the group for leaving the supporting tour for their second album in favor of working on his own solo efforts.

In the group, Fatlip could be recognized for his conversational-style delivery of his verses and for having one of the deeper voices of the group.

Solo career

In 2005, Fatlip released his solo debut, The Loneliest Punk. It includes his single from 2000, "What's Up Fatlip" (which was included in the soundtrack for Tony Hawk's American Wasteland and the Youth in Revolt (film) soundtrack). The music video for "What's Up Fatlip" was directed by Spike Jonze. During the filming process Spike compiled a series of interviews with Fatlip and put them together in a documentary also titled, "What's Up, Fatlip?". The album features guest appearances by Chali 2na (on the song "Today's Your Day", which is included in the skateboarding film Yeah Right!), as well as Shock G (on the song "Freaky Pumps"). The album contains songs produced by J-Swift who was responsible for the production of The Pharcyde's first album Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde.
