Funkdoobiest was a hip hop ensemble originating from Los Angeles, California, featuring rappers Jason "Son Doobie" Vasquez, Tyrone "Tomahawk Funk" Pacheco, and DJ Ralph "Tha Phunky Mexican" Medrano. Connected to the Soul Assassins collective, the group produced four studio albums. Their third release, The Troubleshooters, marked the first album made after Tomahawk Funk left the group.
Their debut album Which Doobie U B? included their highest-charting track, "Bow Wow Wow", which peaked at number 89 on the US Billboard Hot 100. In 1994, they contributed the song "The Good Hit" to the soundtrack of Allison Anders' film Mi Vida Loca. The track "Superhoes" from their sophomore album Brothas Doobie was featured on the 1995 soundtrack for F. Gary Gray's movie Friday. Moreover, "Act On It", taken from their third album, appeared in Kirk Wong's 1998 film The Big Hit.
Between 2003 and 2004, Son Doobie released two solo projects via Battle Axe Records titled Funk Superhero and Doobie Deluxe.
