Hip-Hop Friday: Pharoahe Monch


It's been eight years since the release of Pharoahe Monch's last studio album, and despite having remained active during that period with cameos on tracks from other artists such as Talib Kweli and the late J Dilla, many of his hardcore fans have been eagerly anticipating the follow-up to his initial LP Internal Affairs. It appears they're long wait is finally over with the release of Desire, and while it may not pack all the punch of its predecessor, it does feature some killer tracks like "What It Is" and the title cut (posted below courtesy of Blogs are for Dogs). As a bonus, I've also posted Monch's remix of the Amy Winehouse hit "Rehab" (courtesy of nialler9) which, despite him only laying down a single verse, blows away Ghostface Killah's remix of the same song (and I actually like Ghostface's version, so that's saying something).
