The Bay Area group debuted nationally in 2004 with their single "Hyphy," thus popularizing, although not inventing, the term. With producer Rick Rock's dizzying synths and slapping bass sound, and a guest spot from E-40, the single was silly, energetic and intense, sounding like crunk's ADHD cousin, and it proved influential in the Bay's growing hyphy movement. Federation's subsequent debut album <I>The Album</I> tanked, however, and the group was dropped from Virgin. But when E-40 hit big in 2006 with his album <I>My Ghetto Report Card</I>, which featured Federation on three tracks, offers began rolling in, and Federation eventually went with Reprise. Though a slew of singles have been released, the world is still waiting for Federation's sophomore disc. - Sam ChennaultBay Areaen720Mon, 23 Nov 2009 15:41:05 -0800 http://static.realone.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://www.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6537978&rws=%2Ffederation-rap%2Ftop-tracks.rss Federation celebrate their status as hip-hop dummies with songs that implore listeners to "go dumb," setting the template for a generation of hyphy class clowns.
