Freestyle Fellowship are a rap group from Los Angeles consisting of rappers Aceyalone, Mikah 9, P.E.A.C.E., Self Jupiter and producer J Sumbi. Their innovative vocal techniques focusing on the method of the freestyle, as well as a successful infusion of hip hop and jazz established the group as forerunners in the sub-genre of jazz rap, also placing them amongst prominent West coast underground rap acts of the early 90's like Hieroglyphics, Abstract Rude & Tribe Unique, and The Pharcyde.

Freestyle Fellowship was formed at the Good Life Café in LA during the early to mid 80s. Orginally they were just a group of friends that met up at the Good Life's open mic sessions. The orginal Freestyle Fellowship consisted of over 50 members. The Emcees known as Freestyle Fellowship were the members that consistently came to the most open mic sessions (making the group as it is today a luck of the draw in some sorts).
