Freestyle Fellowship was formed at the Good Life Café in LA during the early to mid 90s. Originally they were just a group of friends that met up at the Good Life's open mic sessions. The original Freestyle Fellowship consisted of over 50 members. The Emcees known as Freestyle Fellowship were the members that consistently came to the most open mic sessions (making the group as it is today a luck of the draw in some sorts). Officially forming in 1991 and releasing the underground classic ''To Whom It May Concern'', the Fellowship quickly emerged as a formidable force in tape-trading circles, easily identified by their incredible range in rhyming, at times bordering on Scat , and Afrocentric messages over Jazz inspired beat production. Their 1993 release, ''Innercity Griots'' is acknowledged by many to be among the most influential albums in the history of Alternative Hip Hop . Aceyalone , the most prolific artist of the group in terms of solo album releases, rose to individual stardom with such works as ''A Book of Human Language'' and ''Love and Hate'', a cooperative album with acclaimed Producer RJD2 . Mikah 9 , P.E.A.C.E. and Self Jupiter all saw success with solo releases, affirming the group's position as showcase for the varied and individual talents of the individual MC . Each member continues a part time commitment to the original group, most recently making a 2005 appearance on a compilation for Los Angeles based label Project Blowed , with the track "Outro".
