Burbank, CA - Bay Area rappers, Federation, will release their new album - It's Whateva - on June 26 on Reprise Records. Veteran producer Rick Rock (Jay-Z, Busta Rhymes, E-40) pushed the trio - Doonie Baby, Goldie, and Stresmatic - to further diversify the bass-heavy, rapid-fire hyphy sound, and deliver more than what fans may expect to hear from these pioneers.
It's Whateva has already received early critical acclaim: "Considered originators of the rap microgenre, hyphy, the Feds are back with the biggest dread-shaking album of the year. The bangin beats on '18 Dummy' and 'My Rims' will blow back your wig," raves Stuff Magazine, while Vibe says, "A label switch and admirable persistence have honed the group's energy - on this strong follow-up, Rock and Federation again advance the movement."
The forthcoming album will feature new songs, including the single, "College Girl," "Shooter" and "She Go." The album has Hyphy elements, but goes beyond that with both the usual suspects and some surprising collaborations - e.g. Travis Barker (Blink-182), Snoop Dogg, E-40, and more.
Federation formed in 2002 in Fairfield, CA, near Oakland, in the San Francisco Bay Area. Federation's 2003 debut The Album, with its homegrown hits "Hyphy" and "Go Dumb," encapsulated the burgeoning hyphy scene with witty wordplay, catchy chants, and bombastic bass lines. The group are proud of their early success, "From four people sharing one hamburger, we've been through it all with each other," says Doonie. Adds Goldie: "We're beyond brothers."

In my honest opinion that college girl is lightweight garbage. Maybe It will grow in me but so far it aint cuttin it. Miss me with the bullshit about me being a hater cuz I enjoy the feds but Im gotta give my honest opinion on 1 of their tracks. With that said, I wish the Feds much success but with hyphy music dying the odds is stacked against them for the simple fact that theyre known as a "hyphy" group.
compared to their other singles, 18 dummy and Stunna glasses, college girls aint that tight, or atleast its not singleworthy. Still a cool song tho but im suprised they made it into a single.
I don't think they got the odds stacked againts them because people are startin to dislike other "hyphy" music. Federation music is unlike most the other hyphy shit, its got the key ingredient, mainstream appeal. I don't kno if they set out to make it appeal to the mainstream, it doesnt seem like it to me, their good rick rock beats and verstyle styles and lyrics just made it come out like that
