Artist History Flava Tribe started as a garage-type hip hop group in 1998 by founding members Wyles Mallo a.k.a. 187 and Tommy B with help from producer Wrath and mentor Double D. Daniels. From those experiments emerged the NY cult hit "Who's Got the Flava?" After riding the success of that single, the Flava Tribe experienced some restructuring as Tommy B. took time off, only to be replaced (if there was anyway to replace Tommy) by CmcD a.k.a. The Replicant. And now the group has experienced considerable success.
