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 â since his recent appearance on Madvillainâs âRaidâ (Madvillainy, 2004) going back to his debut on the now-classic Soundpieces by Lootpack back in â99. He showed up on Quasimotoâs The Unseen (2000), Spinzâs Proz and Conz (2006),and even made the sole MC appearance on Madlibâs 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 âBlind Manâ and the Erykah Badu-jacking âSpecialâ 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 itâs 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 itâs all right with yâall... 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 âperforating wordplay and extraterrestrial breath controlâ (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 âPushâ) 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 ↴
Backseat of my Jeep, I swing a episode
Young sister wants to stroll with a heavy load
She say "It ain't the way you bend it, it's the way you spend it"
She saw me dippin' and she hope I wasn't tryna pimp it
Tryna get it cause I fit it better
Met a red bone, got the Akinyele off my acapella
And I can tell that she was jealous, cause my love was lavish
Had to happen more than daily on the daily, though
She say she "Ain't no radio", like "Play me, yo"
Baby go back like backyard boogie and bagpipes
I'm pulling niggas rap card fully like I smash mics
Lie smooth with the coolers at the party
Hookers in the lobby tryna keep me out the swap meets
But, mommy remind me of that G rolling by me
Blinking, the God Almighty he ain't knock-up nobody
But yo
She got style and grace
Oh, she's a beauty
Sophisticated lady like the ones from the movies
Her love is the ocean
Oh, I wanna dive in
Let me take it back to the old school
be my girl til I drive in, drive in, drive in
Uh, yeah
Miss porter we still mobbin on fear, bother
Rest fears on the cashmere, I still got 'em
You walk slick, thick
Behind wobblin', when I beat it
Probably can read in the crime column
My gift shit, heels lift lick from Cool Whip
Commit it, tho
Netflix used to be my hidden goal
Purple rolls in the elbow swollen
Gazelle still on the strokin' tail bone broken, oh
Golden Globe, fresh
Soul in flesh
Photo's set
Pose like I should have brought a Tech (blak!)
Through respect your finesse
Got me thinking weekends
Summer, fall, spring
Squeak em while I wig the singin'
Nothing like the realest thing
Don't worry, love never hurry
Make it hurricane
I'm saying, rain overdo
Full pleasure on the pedestal
Who ever bent
Nobody do it better than you, you, you
She got style and grace
Oh, she's a beauty
Sophisticated lady like the ones from the movies
Her love is the ocean
Oh, I wanna dive in
Let me take it back to the old school
be my girl til I drive in, drive in, drive in
The song "Drive In" by MED Blu & Madlib is, on the surface, a typical rap song about cruising around in a Jeep with a girl and enjoying life. However, upon closer inspection, there are a few interesting things going on in the lyrics. The opening verse features the line "She say 'It ain't the way you bend it, it's the way you spend it'", which seems to be a commentary on the superficial nature of some relationships. Similarly, the line "It's like water for chocolate, but she wasn't Spanish" could be interpreted as a nod to the 1992 novel by Laura Esquivel of the same name, which deals with love and traditional gender roles.
The chorus of the song features the line "She got style and grace, Oh, she's a beauty, Sophisticated lady like the ones from the movies, Her love is the ocean, Oh, I wanna dive in, Let me take it back to the old school, be my girl til I drive in, drive in, drive in". These lyrics suggest a desire for a deep and meaningful relationship, rather than just a casual fling. The reference to the "old school" could be seen as a nostalgic throwback to a time when relationships were taken more seriously.
Overall, "Drive In" showcases MED Blu & Madlib's ability to craft lyrics that are both catchy and thought-provoking. The song invites listeners to think about the nature of love and relationships, while still providing a fun and upbeat listening experience.

I've been into hip hop since I was a child but this is without a doubt one of the most beautiful tracks I've ever heard. It made me feel things I hadn't felt for a long time. Within the first 3 seconds, I knew this was gonna be special. The beat is almost too good to be true WTF! I only found this by accident just now and that's a sin. 30 thousand views... really?! Madlib is a straight up musical genius!
