Laron Wilbur, known professionally as Me Phi Me, is an American rapper from Flint, Michigan. After adopting the name Me Phi Me in 1987, as a tribute to historically Black fraternities, he released his debut album One in 1992, establishing a distinctive blend of folk guitar, live jazz bass, and traditional frat stepping, and other unique organic instruments. The song "Sad New Day" was released as a single from the album ONE, which reached number 83 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1992. The video of this single, directed by Julien Temple, received Buzz Bin play on MTV and BET. In 1993, Me Phi Me's song "Revival!" appeared on the multi-platinum soundtrack to the film Reality Bites, and "hereWEcome" was later included on the Strange Days soundtrack in 1995. Throughout the early 1990s, Me Phi Me toured nationally and collaborated with artists such as Cee Tha Wizzard. He also assisted his church choir in Baltimore, Maryland.
