Biography
Basehead is the creation of Michael Ivey, a middle-class suburban kid from Maryland. Ivey recorded the bulk of Basehead's
1992 debut, Plays With Toys, on a four-track at home with various
friends. Combining laid-back, stoned hip-hop rhythm tracks, pop hooks,
drawled raps, and pseudo-folky guitar, the record received glowing
reviews in alternative publications and was played frequently on college
radio. Ivey assembled a touring band and used them on parts of Basehead's 1993 follow-up, Not in Kansas Anymore. The critical reception was mixed and the record didn't receive much airplay or sales. The following year Ivey assembled the alternative hip-hop collection B.Y.O.B., which featured several of his own contributions; Basehead's Faith followed in 1996.
