In the late 1990s Joe and Malique formed a musical duo under the Positive Tone label. Their first big break took place in 1999 when their first singles, Li'l Fingaz and Too Phat Baby entered normal rotation on local radio.
Joe and Malique's first recorded collaboration won so many fans that the producers quickly began work on their new album, entitled Plan B. So far, Plan B has sold over 45,000 copies and has garnered a double platinum award. Cashing in on the duo's fame, recording label Positive Tone, a subsidiary of EMI International, produced a re-issue of Plan B entitled Plan B Platinum Edition, the CD pack included two new songs, "Clap to This" and "Last Song". Song lyrics were also included in the Platinum Edition and all albums and singles thereafter.
The music video for a track from Plan B, "Just a Friend", was produced in collaboration with Maxis Hotlink and debuted on Malaysian television channel ntv7. The video features cameo appearances from local artistes M. Nasir, Fauziah Latiff and Ferhad, and Malaysian track & field athlete Watson Nyambek. Most of the scenes were shot locally, in the city of Kuala Lumpur. The group took a brave step and included issues regarding homosexuality in the video, addressing a topic which is usually avoided in conservative Malaysia. "Just a Friend" became the first music video produced by a local music act to be shown on national television.
Too Phat have also collaborated with American hip hop artist Warren G, bringing them much credibility in a genre perceived to be more rooted in African-American culture.
In 2005, they produced their latest album Rebirth Into Reality featuring various hip-hop artists from East Asia. The album's first single Dua Dunia features award winning Malaysian singer Siti Nurhaliza.

Too Phat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Half of Too Phat, kid of true skills
Yeah they call me Que Chill, who the hell are you?
Yeah Im a dope emcee, what the hell are you?
Malique
They always askin me what I like what I do
I do what I like and I usually like what i do
Wash my own drawers, scratch my own balls
I like to mind my own business now and stay home
Avoiding all invitations to Satans play zone
Eat well and stay toned, blood free from no no's
Im like a Tony Montana you Tony no nose
Study gangster flicks, chi chi get the yayo
Double s15 burgs, double cheese and mayo
Sunkist apple with sacs, packs crumple my abs
Rub and relax with spf4 carrot extract
Parody tracks, Mary's send merrily laughs
Pirellis dash as I blast on your monkey ass
Beef is good I dont eat chicken or .
I hate chickens and . cat is chicken or .
Jord's and air ones alone around 50 plus
From 150 plus, pimp till Im 50 plus
And im keepin it dragon, red bandanas are hangin
And the fingers are flaggin, when im rappin Im braggin
Braggin? Check checkin the mic that im grabbin
In the back of your hatchbacks, in your vans or ya
Wagons

Call me Q.C, short for Que chill
Half of Too Phat, kid of true skills
You dont really know me

Malique
Was an impatient kid, theyd tell me Q, chill
So why not Q chill, and now im Q chill
I write words that rhyme and each rhyme is tight
Five digits, five six how my dime is like
And my mind is right, crabstickin and sushi
With mysterious who she, I love I love Lucy
And I like girls with ab lines on they stomach
Not those who rather gather fries in they stomach
I like girls with butterflies in they stomach
Not those who shake they, with butterflies on it
Rappers dancin like butterflies sting like a bee?
Mind your language, Ali, call me mastergee
As you pass the g, you show me g love
And when I holla bro bro you holla g dove
Joe holla Kartelo hello, I holla g dove
Malique
Falling back on that ass with a hellified gangster lean
Getting funky on the mic like an old badge of college
Greens
Its the capital Q oh yes im fresh with the U and E
C H I with the double L, the ladies love QC
But im choosy and picky, bumpin Luda and Biggie
Chill in Kuta with Ginny, blazin Buddha and Henny
Dirty southing at granny's, watching nanny with family
You holler Uno? Uno game, scrabble pictionary
And im still blazin at great heights, still having
Stage frights
Lettermans late nights, letters at late night
To my fans and mom
Cause my mom's a queen, and my fans da bomb
And they keepin me movin
And im keepin em movin
Respect and mutual understanding what keepin us movin
And after laughter, cries and 4 LPs
Suckers still down with me.
Malique
You just a phony rapper,
Your mom's the only clapper
Flabby lonely rapper, hanging wit your crony crappers
And im sicker and dapper, and im bigger and deffer
Louis thicker with cheddar, fatty 3's and im clever
Dear rapper stop whining like your mother left you
The only mic you ever touched was your father's nephew
And Im full of surprises
And Im bigger and deffer
