Their first album ''Speed of Life'' was released in October 2012. == Career == White joined A Tribe Called Quest in the late 1980s as a part-time member. Although he did not rhyme on the albums, he came up with ideas for songs like "I Left My Wallet In El Segundo," which became a single off the group's first album. He also contributed to versions of the songs "Push It Along," "Youthful Expression," and "Can I Kick It?" He also appeared in five of the 13 music videos the group filmed. He left the group in 1991 to attend culinary school. He continues to produce songs with former bandmates Phife Dawg and DJ Rasta Root. He appeared only on one album, ''People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm''. He had actual vocals recorded for the Tribe's second album, ''The Low End Theory'', but when he left the group they were removed. He was mentioned in a skit on ''Midnight Marauders''—the members of the group are listed followed by the phrase "A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y," with the final letter referring to the fact that White was only an occasional member.〔''Midnight Marauders'', Track 7, "We Can Get Down."〕 He was also mentioned on Phife's solo album ''Ventilation: Da LP''. As a part of the Native Tongues crew, White appeared on "Pease Porridge" by De La Soul, on its 1991 album ''De La Soul Is Dead'', which features several other Native Tongues emcees as well. In 2006 White joined A Tribe Called Quest on stage during its performance at the Bumbershoot festival. He is also the manager of Washington D.C.-based rapper Head-Roc.
