M.E.D's debut album was released on Stones Throw records in 2005. Entitled Push Comes to Shove, the album features production from Madlib, J Dilla, Oh No (Madlib's younger brother), and Just Blaze.
A CD entitled "Bang Ya Head" was released during Stones Throw's 2005 Tour and features M.E.D (known as Medaphoar) guest spots from 1998 to 2005.
M.E.D. made a dis track toward Canibus called "Lightwork."
The west coast MC called Medaphoar is known lately by the first three letters of his name: M to the E to the D. Three short letters for a long-awaited, full-length album coming at long last in 2005.
Why the hold up? Heads have been checking for more heat from young MED for a good while – since his recent appearance on Madvillain’s “Raid” (Madvillainy, 2004) going back to his debut on the now-classic Soundpieces by Lootpack back in ‘99. He showed up on Quasimoto’s The Unseen (2000), Spinz’s Proz and Conz (2006),and even made the sole MC appearance on Madlib’s acclaimed Shades of Blue. As an artist on Stones Throw, the man has three 12-inch single, and two ltd.-edition white label 12s, including the Cut Chemist-produced “Blind Man” and the Erykah Badu-jacking “Special” from 2004. All this heat and yet the album is ghost... until now.
"Push Comes To Shove" is the official title of the album, and it’s nothing but rapid-fire bangers all over it. The track list features production by Stones Throw homies Madlib and Oh No, the almighty J Dilla (Jay Dee), and... if it’s all right with y’all... a little treat from platinum-plus hitmaker Just Blaze.
Representing the Oxnard, California family of MCs and b-boys that boasts luminaries such as Madlib, Oh No, Declaime, Wildchild and Kan Kick, MED stands out for his “perforating wordplay and extraterrestrial breath control” (URB Magazine). His subject matter reflects the struggles and hustles of a young black man caught between the street life of Oxnard and the nightlife of L.A. Fans can expect a healthy dose of muscular lyricism on "Push Comes to Shove", with guest MCs including J Dilla (rapping on and producing the lead single “Push”) and (...oh sh*t!) the one and only Diamond D, for that all-time heavyweight flavor.
In 2009 he released his 100 Dolla Billz 12" single.

MED Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo I'mma come through
Send me your door number
Hit me back
Oh I see it right there, I see it
I'll be through in a minute, get at me
Word
Go visit my cousin right quick
He always told me if you need anything fam, just take it yo
I could go tonight, I know he not home
So
Knock Knock
Menacing, cousin Villain, let my self in
Only need a stick of butter, cheese
And some some vitamin D
Double O-M, as in 'mescaline'
Hang the hat on steez, the gentleman's testament
The rest been sold and told like the book of Evangel
I'mma hold the DVD, I ain't seen Scandal
A handful IOU
Won't miss a brew, or two, or six
Torture the lyrics, mics and crucifix
Fresh new kicks, I would put 'em on 'cept
Them shoes always hurt my corn
Might as well return his young shirt was war torn
Got you on the track with the horn, word is bond
I see you when you gone to the next event (Represent)
Get paid, big cuz Villain message sent
Turn the keys then amnesia
Scent of reefer
Missing a few beers from the freezer
Distract from the cheeks in her jeans, bruh
Told to have a seat or i could be one
The fever, Madlib single like a DJuh
Fling with get the pockets on keebla
From the cantina
Slip cheetahs off her heels
Like Queen Sheba
Still sip Seagram in the plastic cup, I hit the Wheaties
Case without the DVD, stuck watchin' TV
Roll the freebie, then get blown
Tryna touch down, when in the friend zone
Unchecked sent texts and miscalls
Explains the unwashed (?) from locked doors
Told her she got to twerk to get gone
Still a jerk like when you hold the Tec wrong
Wolf, get that whole car pulled
Push, Joe Barnes broke bully on the boulevard
Shook like white sugar with her clothes off
And cook like white bricks for the fix
It's the bogart
Coke barns like a (?)
It's a boat broke
Tryna flow with the fish
You a big dish, fuck a big them
You's a kids meal
Mickey D's and a hook
We shook grams out of hands, nigga
Just dance MC Hammer in the pants
With a ten speed hemi on your bread
Like a big dream, mind like a Benz on La Brea
Player, pay your friends, get it in Blu feeling 'em (?)
Chris Benjamin Franklin's been gangsta
What the good fuck, you's a hood anklet
You's a cute chick
You's a cute little chick, ain't ya?
The song "Knock Knock" by MED Blu Madlib has an interesting story to it. The first verse is about MED trying to get some butter, cheese, and vitamin D from his cousin who seemingly owes him, but he isn't home. So, he decides to break in and get what he needs. The second verse describes the scene where he's sitting with a girl, but he's distracted by her cheeks and the smell of weed. He also talks about how he's trying to touch down, but he's stuck in the friend zone, and the girl explains that he has to twerk to get gone. The third verse talks about the drug trade and how they shook some grams out of someone's hand. The lyrics in the song might seem random, but they paint a vibrant picture of the lifestyle of someone living on the edge.
