Humboldt Beginnings is the fourth studio album by the Pharcyde, released in 2004.[5][6]

The group was down to two original members for the recording of Humboldt Beginnings: Bootie Brown and Imani. Two additional rappers, Spaceboyboogie X and "Greg" Smooche, appear on several tracks.[2]

A music video was released for the track "Knew U".

AllMusic wrote that "the frequent weed songs are interspersed with club thumpers ('The Uh-Huh'), smooth '80s-influenced lovers tracks ('Knew U,' 'Right B4'), and one of the most hilariously overblown gangsta tracks (perhaps humorous?) ever performed ('Bongloads II')."[2] The Cleveland Scene wrote that "the ganjacentric album ... at least acknowledges the stoned-soul picnic that inspired the band's greatest moments."[7] Phoenix New Times wrote that "tight, innovative production and clean, crisp flows contribute to a distinctly original nuance that helps separate the disc further from the group's previous efforts."[8]
