The Black Eyed Peas are an American musical group that blends hip hop, pop, dance, and electronic influences. Formed in Los Angeles in 1995, the group originally consisted of will.i.am, apl.de.ap, and Taboo. The trio gained modest recognition with their first two albums but achieved massive mainstream success after singer Fergie joined the group in 2002. Their breakthrough came with the 2003 album "Elephunk," which featured hit singles like "Where Is the Love," "Shut Up," and "Let's Get It Started." They followed this success with their 2005 album "Monkey Business," which included chart-topping singles such as "Don't Phunk with My Heart" and "My Humps." The group's popularity continued to rise with the release of "The E.N.D." (2009) and "The Beginning" (2010), which featured global hits like "Boom Boom Pow," "I Gotta Feeling," and "Imma Be." Known for their energetic performances and genre-blending style, the Black Eyed Peas became one of the most successful groups of the 2000s. After a brief hiatus and Fergie’s departure from the group, they returned with a renewed focus on their hip hop roots and global collaborations, releasing albums such as "Masters of the Sun Vol. 1" (2018), "Translation" (2020), and "Elevation" (2022). The Black Eyed Peas have received numerous awards and accolades throughout their career and continue to influence pop and hip hop music on a global scale.
