New Music - Pharoahe Monch - Desire
New Music focuses on something just added to the WOXY.com playlist. Today the spotlight is on the new album from Pharoahe Monch, Desire.
- 2nd full length album from the Queens born MC but the first since 1999’s Internal Affairs.
- Monch’s sophomore release was held up due to the Rawkus/Geffen label debacle.
- Desire includes collaborations with Erykah Badu, Dwele, and Tower Of Power and also has a cover of Public Enemy’s “Welcome To The Terrordome.”
Here are a few reviewers quotes about the new album.
- “Monch combines several skill sets into a seamless package: A vivid narrative imagination and the control to bring it to life, a knack for dizzying extended metaphors and haymaker punchlines, and a complex moral sense.” - Pitchfork
- “Pharoahe Monch is a word surgeon.” - Village Voice
- “With the exception of maybe Ghostface, few rappers in history have ever successfully transcended ho-hum soundscapes better than Pharoahe.” - Stylus
