Biography
Phife Dawg (Malik Izaak Taylor) was a Trinidadian-American rapper who shaped the sound of alternative hip-hop as a core member of A Tribe Called Quest, alongside Q-Tip and Ali Shaheed Muhammad. Born November 20, 1970, in the United States, he stood 5 feet 3 inches tall but commanded the mic with a directness that contrasted Q-Tip's more abstract approach—a dynamic that defined the group's golden era. Phife earned the monikers "Five-Foot Assassin" and "Five-Footer" for his lyrical precision and wit. As a Scorpio and life-path-3 individual, his creative restlessness aligned with the numerological drive toward artistic expression and collaborative innovation [F1, enrichment]. Rappers historically record albums, perform live, and shape hip-hop aesthetics through both solo and group work. He remained active until his death on March 22, 2016.
