The two came together in the late '90s, and by 1999 were releasing their first singles. The work coalesced into a full-length album, Plan B. Plan B went on to be a major hit in their home nation, and led to a strong and successful career. After recording and releasing their 2005 platter, Rebirth into Reality, Too Phat put out a handful of compilation work, and Flizzow began a new label, Kartel Records. It was on Kartel that Flizzow began a solo career, with the 2008 album The President. Rumored to be out of the music game at one point, it turned out that Malique Ibrahim was also working on a collection of his own, tentatively titled OK. ~ Chris True
