Bootie Brown, whose birth name is Romye Robinson, is a hip-hop artist best known as a member of the influential and critically acclaimed alternative hip-hop group The Pharcyde. Emerging from the West Coast hip-hop scene in the early 1990s, Bootie Brown and his fellow group members crafted a sound that was distinct from the gangsta rap dominating the airwaves at the time. With The Pharcyde, Bootie Brown contributed to the creation of landmark albums like "Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde" and "Labcabincalifornia," offering a blend of introspective lyrics, playful storytelling, and jazzy, funky beats.

In addition to his extensive work with The Pharcyde, Bootie Brown has pursued solo endeavors and collaborative projects, showcasing his versatility and longevity in the ever-evolving hip-hop landscape. His most recent releases highlight his continued relevance in the genre. The track "Satisfied" adds to his solo repertoire, while his work with artists like Gorillaz on "New Gold" (featuring Tame Impala and Bootie Brown) proves his ability to seamlessly blend with contemporary sounds and artists. Whether contributing verses to remixes like "Suddenly (Remix)" or joining forces on projects such as "Stanky Funk," Bootie Brown's artistry remains as vibrant and compelling as it was when he first burst onto the scene. His knack for witty storytelling and his smooth, confident delivery have cemented him as a respected figure in hip-hop.
