Labcabincalifornia
''Labcabincalifornia'' is the second album by The Pharcyde, released in 1995, three years after their debut '' Bizarre Ride II the Pharcyde''. The album's production was handled by The Pharcyde themselves and Jay Dee, with additional help from Diamond D and M-Walk. The video for the album's first single, " Drop", was directed by Spike Jonze and used footage of the group performing the song backwards, replayed backwards, giving it a surreal quality. The song was a hit, as was the follow-up single " Runnin'," which peaked at #55 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Album sales compared to ''Bizarre Ride'' did not fare as well; the group was not able to reach Gold status.
