Members Imani Wilcox\, Tre Hardson\, and Romye Robinson were dancers by trade. Derrick Stewart joined the group in 1990 and their debut\, Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde\, catapulted them into the alternative rap scene. Opening for acts like Tribe Called Quest and participating in tours like Lollapalooza earned them fans outside of hip-hop. And the single “Passin’ Me By” landed in the #1 spot on Billboard’s Hot Rap Singles chart. \nNow in 2026 three original members Imani\, Slimkid & Fatlip have been touring all over the world and are making their only Vermont stop of 2026 with local support from Konflik and Nasteeloves you at Afterthoughts in Waitsfield\, VT this Friday May 8th at 8 pm. \nOpening the show we have local artists Konflik + NasteeLuvzYou. \nTickets will sell out quickly- don’t miss out!

Traditional inns\, hotels\, and lodges have gradually declined\, while short-term rentals (STRs) now make up a significant portion of the Valley’s visitor bed base. \nAt the same time\, municipalities are actively discussing housing pressures\, STR regulations\, and how to balance tourism with community needs. These shifts have created both opportunities and tensions\, and it’s more important than ever that the STR sector engages constructively in shaping the Valley’s visitor economy. \nThe Mad River Valley Chamber of Commerce is convening an initial meeting to begin building a collaborative table for dialogue and action. \nWhy This Conversation Matters\nFor decades\, traditional lodging properties carried much of the responsibility for promoting the Valley as a visitor destination. STRs are now an established and growing part of that lodging mix — a fact of life in today’s tourism economy. \nAs STRs continue to grow\, it is vital that this sector pulls its weight in promoting the Valley\, helping share the responsibility for sustaining the visitor economy and supporting local businesses that depend on tourism. \nLocal municipalities are also paying close attention to housing\, STR regulations\, and community impacts. The most effective way for STR owners and dependent businesses to have a voice in these discussions is to organize\, communicate openly\, and engage collaboratively. Participating now ensures your perspectives help shape the future.  \nLearn more about the STR issue in the MRV – the Mad River Valley Planning District created a Short Term Rentals in the MRV White Paper. Created in 2021 it is somewhat dated but the most pertinent facts remain generally unchanged.
