Flipmode Squad formed in 1996 around Busta Rhymes, who brought together Rampage, Rah Digga, Lord Have Mercy, and Baby Sham. Their debut single 'Cha Cha Cha' caught attention with its energetic beat and Busta's distinctive delivery, giving the Brooklyn collective an early foothold.
Their 1998 album 'The Imperial' featured collaborations with Missy Elliott and Dr. Dre, and included tracks like 'Gimme Some More' that maintained their momentum. They followed with 'Survival Skills' in 2000 and 'The Movement' in 2004, though lineup changes saw members like Rah Digga depart during those years.
While their catalog isn't extensive, songs like 'Everybody On The Line Outside' and 'Everything' show the group's range within the late-90s hip-hop landscape they helped define.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
