Malik Isaac Taylor, better known as Phife Dawg, was an American rapper and a member of A Tribe Called Quest. He was born on November 20, 1970 in Queens, New York and passed away on March 22, 2016. Standing at just 5 ft 3 inches tall, he earned the nicknames "The Five Foot Assassin" and "The Five Footer." Phife's name was inspired by the fife, a small flute used in military and marching bands. He was a talented artist who left his mark on the music industry.

Phife Dawg formed A Tribe Called Quest with his high school classmates Q-Tip and Ali Shaheed Muhammad. They were later joined by Jarobi White for a short time. The group became known for their unique sound and innovative approach to hip-hop.

In addition to his musical career, Phife Dawg also made appearances in popular video games such as NBA 2K7 and NBA 2K9 as a playable character. His impact on both the music world and gaming community will always be remembered.

The Estate for the legendary MC and A Tribe Called Quest founding member Phife Dawg is excited to unveil the vinyl for his posthumous album “Forever”. 

The title track of the album “Forever” was the last single recorded by Phife on March 19, 2016, days before he transitioned. The “Forever” digital album released on the 6 year anniversary of his passing - March 22, 2022. Before his untimely passing in 2016, the four-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum New York-born MC spent time working on this album, partnering with trusted collaborators, and assembling a catalog of songs representative of his art. 

He carefully assembled a collection of songs earmarked by his signature verbal fireworks, hilarious adlibs, incisive social commentary, and unexpectedly introspective confessions. With the blessing of his family and his most trusted collaborator and business partner, Dion Liverpool (Executive Producer) the “Forever” album was released with features Rapsody, Renee Neufville, Busta Rhymes, Redman, V. Rich, Q Tip, Maseo, Lyric Jones, Dwele, Illa J, Little Brother, Pos, Darien Brockington, Cheryl Boyce Taylor (His Mother), and Angela Winbush.
