Black Eyed Peas
The Black Eyed Peas are an American musical group formed in Los Angeles in 1995, originally consisting of rappers will.i.am, apl.de.ap, and Taboo. The group first emerged from the underground hip-hop scene with their debut album "Behind the Front" in 1998, which was noted for its socially conscious lyrics. Their second album, "Bridging the Gap" (2000), featured collaborations with artists like Mos Def and De La Soul.
In 2001, the group transitioned to a more mainstream pop sound with the addition of vocalist Fergie. This lineup change led to their breakthrough third album, "Elephunk" (2003), which included hits like "Where Is the Love?" featuring Justin Timberlake. The album was a commercial success, selling over two million copies. Their subsequent album, "Monkey Business" (2005), further solidified their popularity with hits such as "Don't Phunk with My Heart" and "My Humps."
The Black Eyed Peas reached new heights with their fifth album, "The E.N.D." (2009), which produced chart-topping singles like "Boom Boom Pow" and "I Gotta Feeling," the latter holding the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for 14 weeks. They continued their success with "The Beginning" (2010) and performed at the Super Bowl XLV halftime show in 2011.
After a hiatus, the group returned without Fergie and released "Masters of the Sun Vol. 1" in 2018, which marked a return to their hip-hop roots. J. Rey Soul joined the group during this period and contributed to their 2020 album "Translation." Throughout their career, the Black Eyed Peas have sold an estimated 80 million records worldwide, making them one of the best-selling musical acts of all time.
